けど、動画デモ見ると、かなり便利そう。
ホットスワップしているし、でも、同期時間みたいのはどうしているのかな。

Robotic Operations Drobo is programmed to take actions on your behalf; always ensuring it's keeping your data safe and optimized: * Auto-formatting of added drives1 * Auto-repair of data after drive failure * Auto-repair of data corruption * Auto-repair of data redundancy * Auto-expansion of storage pool * (when drives are added or upsized) * Auto-sense & display of capacity used Consolidated Capacity Regardless of how many hard drives are installed, your Mac or PC sees one large drive: * Consolidation of storage into large pool * Accessible via High-Speed USB 2.0 * Accepts one to four drives. Automated Protection Data on Drobo is automatically protected against drive failure and data corruption: * Redundant protection of all data * Protection against drive failure * Sensing and avoiding data corruption * Auto-repair of data after drive failure2 * Protection against multiple drive failures2 Flexible Configuration It's extremely easy to add capacity to Drobo; just like adding ink to a printer: * Uses standard 3.5" SATA I or II drives * Accepts any brand, capacity, or speed * No tools, just insert drives into slots Infinite Expansion Expand capacity forever by adding new, or upsizing installed drives without data migration or configuration: * Insert new drives to any available bay * Replace installed hard drives with larger drives to increase total capacity * New capacity is available instantly * Add drives without downtime or configuration Intuitive Indicators Drobo informs you what actions are required with simple to understand indicator lights (no software required) * Green = healthy, no action necessary * Yellow = low, add drive here soon * Red = full, add drive immediately * Flashing red = failure, replace drive 1 After initial format of first drive. 2 Capacity or repair-time permitting
