Robot Backup

Drobo Backup
One of my favorite finds at this year's CES came from a company called Data Robotics, Inc. The product that I talked about at length with CEO Dr. Geoff Barrall is called teh Drobo. I tried to get my video of this product to post at YouTube, but for some reason it wouldn't take this one.

The Drobo holds up to 4 Serial ATA hard drives that can be inserted and removed at any time whether the machine is on or not. Drobo accepts any size and brand of drive up to 1 terabyte each! I enjoyed seeing and learning about this product because there is absolutely no setup, configuration or maintenance on the part of the computer user. Simply plug the unit into a high speed USB drive and Drobo takes care of the rest. It automatically backs up your data on up to 4 different drives and dynamically stores the data so that you will never have a loss...barring any catostropic loss due to fire, 5 story drop of the unit or something similar.

To read more about it and see the video on the Drobo web site, click here.

Feedback on website

Submitted by Smart Computer User on January 17, 2008 - 7:14pm.

I think your website is great. I am always telling friends, family and co-workers to go there, write it down for them or show them if we are near a computer. I explain the many resources your site offers. Sometimes it takes a while for the info like that to sink in for many folks. But it will. Just keep up the good work.
