BeyondRAID Technology
A Drobo B800fs can hold up to 32TB of raw storage and beyond. To add capacity, simply insert a new hard drive or replace your smallest drive with a larger one, even when all drive bays are full. Unlike traditional RAID systems, the BeyondRAID technology in Drobo enables you to leverage different drive capacities, allowing for continuous expansion as larger drives become available. With Drobo, expansion is automatic and instantaneous and access to data is always maintained.

Drobo can protect from single or dual drive failures and has a virtual hot spare capability - ensuring all drives are used as all times.

Share Files Directly from Drobo
Drobo B800fs connects directly to your Ethernet network to make sharing your data easy. Just plug it into any switch and you're ready to go.

The Drobo B800fs has two Gigabit Ethernet ports that can be configured to fail over if one link fails or can be set up to connect to two separate networks—one for your data and the other for Drobo Sync replication, for example.
