DROBO Rocks

Bought this after losing 2 hard drives in less than a year. As a professional photographer, I work with thousands of images and most in RAW format, large files. And even though I back up to many sources, this was a really cool way to back up with piece of mind. I currently have four 1TB drives installed and this has worked well for me for about a year and a half. Lose a hard drive? No problem, simply pull out the bad one and install a new one and your information is right there ready to go. It is hot swappable so you do not need to shut it down to change it out. Dont know how it works exactly but it does. Want to upgrade the drives? Just switch them out one at a time and you can in essence double the size of your storage capacity. I started with 500's and went to 1TB.. I liked this so well, I was asked to Beta test the new model and put it through its paces...this is a really cool item if you want great piece of mind...other RAID type systems just did not work that well for me....
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased the same unit at a different retailer. Just wanted to say in this review that if you get a chance to purchase this unit, do so because it is worth the time and money. It will not let you down, the performance is excelent, and I am extremely happy that i purchased this. Do yourself a favor and get it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It would be a good ideal to tell one that the drives are purchased separate.
I would recommend this to a friend!
