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.
