If Bruce Willis Was a Computer Peripheral, He’d Be DroboPro

Bruce Willis is the perennial tough-guy, the one you can trust to save the day when everything else has gone pear-shaped. He’s resourceful, dedicated, single-minded, and down-to-earth no-nonsense functional.

And so is DroboPro, except for it protects data not citizens and from drive failure not terrorists. Otherwise, exactly the same. OK, plus some nice blinking LEDs. Other than that. And the 8 SATA drive bays. OK, other than all that and the rack-mountability, it’s totally the same as Bruce Willis.

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.
