The Register Hardware posting DroboShare network storage ‘robot’ reviews the Data Robotics, Inc. dynamic duo Drobo and DroboShare.

Drobo is an external storage system designed with a high level of data resilience. DroboShare is an add-on that allows a couple of Drobos to be accessed over a network.

Verdict

There’s no question that Drobo and DroboShare make data resilience and storage capacity expansion really easy. Both are smart-looking boxes packed with even smarter technology to keep your files safe from drive failures and provide you with scope to expand their storage capacity for as long as Seagate, Fujitsu and co. make SATA hard drives.

We liked the Drobo and DroboShare, and we think Data Robotics has come up with something special. But the company needs to get the price down if it’s to win over the kind of users who’ll benefit most from its technology.

I agree. Data Robotics, Inc. has a pricey winner.
