DroboPro

That mighty beast right there might look like a double-width Drobo. Well, I’m here to tell you that’s because it is in fact a double-width Drobo, and it answers to the name “DroboPro.”

It’s pretty new, so I haven’t had time to learn and explore all it’s nooks and crannies, but here’s the headline stuff:

• 8 SATA Bay Drives
• Theoretical support for up to 64 TB (that’s enought to back-up about 32 TB of data or so)
• That famous Drobo voodoo that lets you back-up your data in a redundant array with hot-swappable bays and plug-and-play expansion.

I want to put more bullets there, but really, I think that’s pretty monstrous enough. Early word about the price puts it in the low-jaw-dropping range, but given that the funcionallity falls into the stratosphere, it’s a good investment if you need that kind of capacity.

More to come as I learn more. Click the picture above to visit Drobo’s page for this honky.
