Data Protection Made Simple

Built on award-winning BeyondRAID technology with single- or dual-drive redundancy, Drobo S protects your data without user interaction, even in the event of multiple drive failures. It can hold up to five hot-swappable drives, for on-the-fly drive capacity expansion with zero downtime.

Self-Healing Technology

With the self-healing technology now incorporated into Drobo S, your data is safer than ever. Even when sitting idle, Drobo S continually examines the blocks and sectors on every drive, flagging questionable areas. This preemptive "scrubbing" helps ensure your data is being written only to the healthy areas of your drives and that your data is always safe. Even if a drive fails, Drobo S keeps your data in the safest possible state, utilizing the available space on the remaining healthy drives.

Your Personal Speed Demon: USB 3.0, eSATA, FireWire 800

Have a need for speed? With the new USB 3.0 interface on the Drobo S, data transfer is up to 50% faster than FireWire 800. USB 3.0 offers backward compatibility with all existing USB 2.0 systems. And the Drobo S features a triple interface with eSATA and FireWire 800 to ensure that you'll have a high-performance connection for virtually any system.

Protection from Two Drive Failures

Enable the dual-drive redundancy option to protect your data from failure of up to two hard drives. It's all done with a single click and without ever losing access to your data. Running out of space? Switch back to single-drive redundancy at any time. Unlike moving between traditional RAID 5 and RAID 6, there's no need to reformat or migrate data from the Drobo S, potentially saving you hours or days of downtime.
