Hi Neil,
That clears it up. Thanks a lot for your info. Beautiful. So are the drives

like Drobo's Dashboard was accessible:

Hello everyone,
I am considering purchasing a drobo for backup purposes that will give me the
option of dual redundancy.
Has anyone on this list had any experience with the drobo software in terms of
its voiceover compatibility?
Welcome andy feedback or thoughts on the topic.
Thanks.
