Drobo, the easy way to backup your data.

Remember that backing up your digital information uber important?! In the business world, losing data can mean losing business. In the personal world, losing data can mean losing precious memories. There have been backup solutions out there for many years, from tape backups to external hard drives, but there were always limitations. Tapes fail, external drives get dropped, and there might be an unexpected coffee spill. While every device has an opportunity to fail, there should be a way to quickly and effortlessly recover form that failure.

Please, let us introduce you to Drobo! This is an amazing piece of equipment that can be used not only for easy backup but also as a file storage and file access device. Drobo is a hard drive on steroids, a device that can hold from four to eight drives in a single “box” and can store up to 24 TB (One terabyte is 1,024 GB or gigabytes) of information. That’s a lot of information. To make it even more interesting, one can use any combination of 3.5 SATA drives in the Drobo device and you can connect to it via USB 3.0, FireWire, eSATA, or iSCSI interfaces. No matter is you use Windows or MacOS, Drobo supports them both.

At some point all hard drives fail. The smallest Drobo has four bays for hard drives, so if one hard drive fails, simply replace it with a new one. Your data is never lost because it is stored redundantly across all hard drives. If you are running out of space, simply replace your smallest drive with a larger one. Problem solved! The best part of this device is the fact that it is easy to use and understand. If you would like more information about Drobo’s, just give TechFarmer a call.
