Product Description ------------------- The B810n is a fusion of large and fast. It can grow up to 64TB presenting itself as a single large pool of storage. If you add two SSDs, it accelerates access to commonly used "hot" data. Ideal for a network of up to 100 users, the Drobo810 can store and share files. Use it as your primary storage for important files and documents OR as a place to backup files, projects, or even complete computers on the network. The Problem B810n Solves All other NAS systems have this problem: when multiple users are accessing it overall performance goes down. This is because simultaneous user requests induce the hard drives mechanism to move around the disk. The drive spends more time looking for data blocks than it does reading or writing data for users. Dual Ethernet Ports: Bond Together, or Failover The B810n has dual Gigabit Ethernet ports. This can be bonded together to provide approximately twice the read/write performance you get via a single port. Or they can be used to provide connect to two different subnets. Or they can be used in an "active/passive" mode so that if one port fails the other takes over. Share Files With OS X, Windows, or Linux Users Don't worry about compatibility - Drobo 810n works with computers running OS X, Windows, or Linux operating systems. By default, Drobo 810n uses the SMB file sharing protocol to talk to OS X or Windows. If you set up a share for Time Machine backup, it uses Apple's AFP protocol. Linux users pick which file sharing method to use on their system. Drobo DR: Offsite Data Replication Builtin The B810n has a feature called "Drobo DR" (DR = disaster recovery). You can set up a pair of B810ns to automatically make an offsite copy of your data. This provides an easy to setup offsite backup of your important data. Even better, the remote B810n stores all user account information so that recovery is a breeze. Optimized for Time Machine One or more Macs on a network can use Drobo 5N for storing their Time Machine backups. Create a separate shares for use by Time Machine and assign them a maximum size. This lets users control how much space Time Machine uses, and stop it from taking over all storage on its backup target.
