Drobo storage array

This is the Drobo storage array developed by Data Robotics. The Drobo supports both SATA I and II 3.5-inch hard drive. It works with PC and Mac as it supports both NTFS and HFS. Drobo is to be launched in Summer at about $700.
Features List:

Robotic Operations
Drobo is programmed to take actions on your behalf; always ensuring it’s keeping your data safe and optimized:

* Auto-formatting of added drives1
* Auto-repair of data after drive failure
* Auto-repair of data corruption
* Auto-repair of data redundancy
* Auto-expansion of storage pool
* (when drives are added or upsized)
* Auto-sense & display of capacity used

Consolidated Capacity
Regardless of how many hard drives are installed, your Mac or PC sees one large drive:

* Consolidation of storage into large pool
* Accessible via High-Speed USB 2.0
* Accepts one to four drives.

Automated Protection
Data on Drobo is automatically protected against drive failure and data corruption:

* Redundant protection of all data
* Protection against drive failure
* Sensing and avoiding data corruption
* Auto-repair of data after drive failure2
* Protection against multiple drive failures2

Flexible Configuration
It’s extremely easy to add capacity to Drobo; just like adding ink to a printer:

* Uses standard 3.5″ SATA I or II drives
* Accepts any brand, capacity, or speed
* No tools, just insert drives into slots

Infinite Expansion
Expand capacity forever by adding new, or upsizing installed drives without data migration or configuration:

* Insert new drives to any available bay
* Replace installed hard drives with larger drives to increase total capacity
* New capacity is available instantly
* Add drives without downtime or configuration

Intuitive Indicators
Drobo informs you what actions are required with simple to understand indicator lights (no software required)

* Green = healthy, no action necessary
* Yellow = low, add drive here soon
* Red = full, add drive immediately
* Flashing red = failure, replace drive

    Massive Data Storage Robot – New Superlow Price
    Now you can get the Drobo for much less. The Drobo is a new foxy black cube that offers massive compact storage. Now prices are being slashed. Data Robotics, the manufacturer of the Drobo, has announced that the cube’s price is being cut from $699 to $499. And, in an unusual move, the company is offering a rebate to anyone who already bought a Drobo above $499.
