good product

Have been looking for a storage solution similar to raid nas for a while. So far it seems to work great. Installed 4 one terabite wd red series drives, no problems. Smooth setup, all my computers see the unit without any trouble. Mike

High-Quality NAS

My experience with the DroboFS has been great - performance is really good for a networked drive, and the build quality is great (the magnetic cover is a nice touch, as is the ability to dim the lights on it). Getting things up and running was pretty smooth, although I had to update the firmware before the dashboard software would recognize it. After that it was a simple process of adding my drives and setting up my shares. The device is more expensive than what I would have liked, but after I started using it I'm happy I made the purchase.

Great NAS Platform

Overall, a great product. The user interface (they call it a 'dashboard') is easy to use. The ability to expand the capacity of the system 'on the fly' is a great value. The system provides status of all the drives, as well as a 'fuel guage' to show how much data is on the drive. My only complaint is the system takes longer than I expected to show up when first booted. But given all the plusses, is a minor inconvenience.

This may not not do everything that the synology does, but it does one thing better than most nas drives out there... it stores my data safely!!! I am very pleased with this product, I love using it!
