Data Robotics DroboPro FS Bedienungsanleitung Seite 47

Q. Why is there data on my Drobo device before I copy data to it?
A. Your operating system and the Drobo unit's firmware both place a
small amount of formatting information on the drives prior to any
data transfer.
Q. Why does my Drobo device seem extremely slow when it's almost
full?
A. Instead of refusing to copy files when its capacity is nearly full (over
95%), the storage array instead enters "slow down" mode to alert
you to check the blue capacity gauge. If all ten blue lights are lit, it's
time to add capacity.
Q. Why am I not receiving any e-mail alerts?
A. Double-check the information that you entered when you set up e-
mail alerts. If all the information looks accurate, contact your e-mail
provider. Additionally there are helpful websites such as the one
listed below which may contain the information you need:

Q. Does my Drobo storage array use RAID?
A. No, the patent-pending technology (called BeyondRAID™) within all
Drobo devices is not RAID and was developed specifically to perform
data management and configuration tasks automatically so that you
don't have to. Drobo storage products do utilize advanced storage
concepts such as virtualization, but it is not a derivative of RAID. See
page 2 for more information on BeyondRAID.
Q. Should I periodically defragment the drives inside of my
Drobo device?
A. No, this type of optimization is automatically performed by the
Drobo storage array automatically.
Q. What happens to my data if there is a power outage?
A. Drobo FS and DroboPro FS manage interruptions to power
automatically and each has an internal rechargeable battery that
allows data being written during an outage to complete.
As with all electronic equipment, we recommend connecting your
Drobo storage device to a surge protector or uninterruptible power
supply (UPS) designed for electronics.
