The editors liked

  • Incredibly easy to use
  • Included Dashboard software also very easy to use
  • BeyondRAID adds too many features to even list here
  • 8-bay storage in a compact and portable form
  • Whisper quiet operation with thermally controlled fans
  • Up to 16TB of storage space. Hot-swappable drives. Three interface options. Capable of single- or dual-drive failure protection. No esoteric drive configurations.
  • Easily expandable storage with dual redundancy

The editors didn't like

  • No eSATA
  • Price is high (but you get what you pay for)
  • No eSATA. iSCSI is dependent on network adapter speed. XP systems limited to 2TB virtual volumes. iSCSI may require an Ethernet switch or hub.
  • No direct networking support

  • While the DroboPro isn’t exactly cheap it’sworth its asking price. It offers great performanceunder load, is easy-to-use, is well-built, providesexceptional data redundancy and doesn’t tie youdown with traditional RAID-system limitations...

  • Data Robotics have proven themselves to be a serious contender in the storage hardware arena. When I began this review, I'll admit I was skeptical. I've never trusted proprietary RAID hardware, well, until now that is. After literally...

  • Mix and match disk speed and capacity, Automatic array resizing and data migration, Optional dualdisk redundancy, ISCSI SAN support, Thin provisioning of virtual Smart Volumes
  • USB port cant be used for backup
  • DroboPro is a business-class RAID storage array that accepts virtually any SATA disk on the market, supports iSCSI and pretty much looks after itself. What more could you want?..
