Data Robotics Drobo FS Handbuch Seite 12

Drobo FS is designed to share data over a network. This eliminates the
problems of physically moving your storage device between computers
and having to take into account different file system formats in order to
share your data.
To set your Drobo FS up, you will need to do the following:
1. Install Drobo Dashboard – After installation, launch Drobo
Dashboard and leave it running while you complete the setup.
2. Insert drives – Use any 3.5" SATA drives. Start with at least two
drives to protect your valuable data. If you plan to use Dual Disk
Redundancy, start with at least three drives. All data on the
drives will be erased.
3. Connect cables – Connect the Drobo FS to your network and
then connect power.
Drobo Dashboard will automatically discover your Drobo FS. It will take
a few minutes for your Drobo FS to finish its initial setup. After the
Drobo FS is ready, you can create new shares, add users, and change
other settings.
You will find more details on the setup in the "Drobo FS Setup" section
on page 6.
Drobo devices are unlike typical storage devices. They make it extremely
easy to increase storage capacity in the future by simply inserting
additional drives or replacing smaller drives with larger ones. This
means you can buy the storage you need today and then easily expand
later. You can save hundreds of dollars over time.
Drobo storage devices don't care what manufacturer, capacity or speed
of hard drive you install. They accept all standard 3.5-inch internal SATA
hard drives. SSD, SCSI and older IDE or ATA-type drives will not work.
Warning! Please note that when adding hard drives to your Drobo storage
device, any pre-existing data on those drives will be erased.
