Ditto to don't get a Drobo. In my past experiences I have been able to literally kill Drobos with overuse. Drobo support would replace them, and I would kill them. In the meantime, the initially sporadic but increasingly consistent failures caused some catastrophic business continuity issues.
I dealt with fighting with many Drobo devices for a period of two years managing backup services for many different clients. I would never trust Drobos again in the capacity. +1 to Synology for that class of device. -- Espi On Fri, Apr 8, 2016 at 2:48 PM, Jack Kramer <j...@smalltype.net> wrote: > Don't get a Drobo.
