Mix n' Match Drive Capacities
Unlike rigid, inflexible RAID solutions, Drobo recognizes the capacities available from a group of varied disk drives. Using an intelligent mixture of industry standard practices to protect your data, Drobo can offer significantly more storage capacity than standard RAID solutions. Just how you would expect storage to work, add more drives or replace smaller drives with larger ones, and get more space.
Pay as You Grow
It's so easy to add drives to Drobo, you can start with the fewest drives / minimum capacity you need to meet your storage requirements today and just add or replace drives to increase capacity later. This feature lets you take advantage of regular disk drive capacity improvements and pricing declines.
Continuous Upgrades
No need to buy an entirely new system when Drobo is full. As long as disk drive capacities continue to increase beyond the capacities you have purchased, you can upgrade Drobo simply by replacing your smallest drives with larger ones.
