Drobo's BeyondRAID technology makes the 5N2 one of the simplest NAS devices around to install and maintain without any of the usual complications associated with standard RAID setups
Where the Drobo excels is in the ease of replacing or adding drives. Without a doubt this is the most user-friendly NAS unit we've reviewed in dozens of articles from names like Synology, QNAP, Thecus, ASUSTOR and the like. Sure, it's aimed at the non-tec...
Poor overall performance, Drobo's SSD cache isn't worth the cost of buying an SSD to load in the slot
Although Drobo still has much to address in terms of performance and feature content, their experience-oriented approach to cloud computing could help hoist them onto the playing field in the future...

Using Mount Network Drive in Windows 10 would often not find the Drobo 5N2, The work around is simple, entering \\Drobo5N2 or what you named your NAS into the file explorer
In our review of the Drobo 5C we found it to be an impressive storage device, now we have looked at the network attached storage (NAS) version, which is an upgraded version of Drobo's 5N.What we found under the hood of the 5N2 is the very same exceptional...
The Drobo 5N2 offers several upgraded features, and those features would certainly be appealing to entry-level users. That said, business users will probably find that the Drobo 5N2 is outclassed by other similar NAS devices from QNAP, Thecus and Synology...
The overall build quality of the Drobo 5N2 is excellent. The casing is durable and is simple. The software, which is the Drobo Dashboard, works smooth. The setup was fast and simple, although not quite as simple to other tech devices but simpler when comp...
I spent a good amount of time with the 5N2 for this review and found the build quality is equal to the 5C at the very least and overall quite good. The enclosure is designed to be durable while also a work of art for your desktop with its lighting. The on...
