Hi Neil, Very good to know there are alternatives for an inaccessible drobo dash board. I was looking to buy a drobo, but I won't for now. Thank you for pointing out its lack of accessibility. Otherwise I too would have run into serious problems with its operation.
You say you have the Netgear ultra nas. I could only find something called ready nas. Is that what you're talking about? There are a number of models, some with 512 MB of internal memory, some have 1 GB, some have a slower processor than others, some with USB 3, some with 2, etc etc. Did I look at the right stuff, or is it a different product line that you mentioned? I'm asking because ultra nas, I couldn't find. Regards, Paul.
