I currently have a DroboPro unit populated with 8 - Seagate Constellation ES 2GB drives connected to a server via iSCSI. The unit is used to store backup sets and other file/folder content for my modest Windows network. The hardware is robust and very stable but using Drobo Dashboard to do anything beyond checking device status is painful....
I've lurked here for some time and see repeated recommendations for and kudos given to Synology NAS units. Before I can pitch to management my thoughts on replacing the Drobo unit, I was wondering if anyone on this list was a former Drobo user and now a Synology user who might comment on the transition. Inviting any other commentary/recommendations as seen fit. TIA Gordon
