DroboShare Adds Gigabit Ethernet to Data Robotics' Lil Server Bot

We all love the idea behind Drobo, the four-drive storage robot from Data Robotics that promises auto-mounting on both OS X Macs and Windows PCs. It's a little pricey at $500, especially since the drives cost extra, but the system just got more powerful: its new shoe fits snugly underneath, providing a gigabit Ethernet network connection and support for "all major file systems" (NTFS, HFS+, EXT3, FAT32). And unlike most NAS devices, this one can be connected locally when necessary, then easily reattached to your network. Of course, it will cost an extra $200, but it'll probably make your initial investment worth more. [Data Robotics]

Drobo: The Storage Robot That Keeps Your HDDs in Check

With a name like Drobo, you can't expect this robot to spit fire or scare little kids. Instead this $699 bot guards your hard drives from sudden death by automatically sensing when things go awry with one of your HDDs. Should it detect any data corruption, Drobo springs into action repairing any foul play. The enclosure can also detect and format up to four 3.5-inch SATA drives. Pretty fancy for a HDD enclosure. – Louis Ramirez More »
