  • This is a very good NAS if that's all you want to use it as. It's easy to set up and use, and there's plenty of room to add extra storage. For any additional functions (FTP, torrent client etc.) you might have to be prepared to get technical, which is ...

  • Abstract:  We all love our NAS. If you don't have one yet, you will love your NAS. Sometimes picking the right one for you may be difficult. Really, it all boils down to what you need. In this NAS Showdown, we are going to pit QNAP against Drobo in a cage match t...

  • For what the Drobo FS is selling for, a file server/network attached storage (NAS), I can say that the device gives you what you pay for. I can only argue the missing features are the quota usage per user or per share. For a small business with no IT grou...

  • Abstract:  If you are running out of space on your home computer, or you want to easily store files on a networked device that makes sharing them easy, a NAS may be the right option for you. The thing about NAS though is that they are not as simple as they once ...

  • As a network attached storage device, the Drobo FS makes life a bit easier with their BeyondRAID zero-configuration technology. Upgrades and expansion are a cinch. And if you can live without the possibility of copying files over to the device via USB or...

  • Abstract:  For the past few months or so ever since the consumer electronics show (CES), friends have been telling me about this great company called Drobo short for DataRobotics. Some would tell me they have the greatest NAS product ever created, others would i...

  • Bonne protection des données, Bonnes performances et facilité d'utilisation, Excellente évolutivité de la capacité de stockage, Addons faciles à gérer avec DroboApps, 5 baies
  • Pas d'administration web pour le moment, Pas d'utilitaires en standard (serveur FTP, Web, client Torrent, ), Pas de corbeille pour récupérer un fichier effacé, Prix
  • Un très bon NAS si on le cantonne à cet usage. Simplicité et évolutivité sont ses maîtres mots. Mais justement, pour en avoir plus (FTP, Torrent...) il faut parfois mettre les mains dans le cambouis. Anormal pour un NAS vendu à ce prix !...

  • Trotz enormer Kapazität ist Drobo FS ein einfach zu bedienendes NAS mit vollautomatischer Datensicherung. Es eignet sich eher für kleine Büros als fürs Wohnzimmer....
