Features Your Personal Speed Demon: USB 3.0, eSATA, FireWire 800
Have a need for speed? With the new USB 3.0 interface on the Drobo S, data transfer is up to 50% faster than FireWire 800. USB 3.0 offers backward compatibility with all existing USB 2.0 systems, and the Drobo S features a triple interface with eSATA and FireWire 800 to ensure you'll have a high-performance connection for virtually any system.

World's Most Expandable USB 3.0 Array
The new Drobo S is the most expandable USB 3.0 product available today, with "industry first" support for multiple storage volumes that provide capacity up to 32TB and beyond. Only BeyondRAID allows you to instantly expand your capacity by simply adding a drive or replacing the smallest drive with a larger one, even when all five drive bays are full. The unique ability to mix and match drive capacities, brands, and speeds ensures you will be able to take advantage of larger drives as they become available.

Protection from Two Drive Failures
Enable the dual-drive redundancy option to protect your data from failure of up to two hard drives. It's all done with a single click, and without ever losing access to your data. Running out of space? Switch back to single-drive redundancy at any time. Unlike moving between traditional RAID 5 and RAID 6, there's no need to reformat or migrate data off of Drobo S, potentially saving you hours or days of downtime.

Self-Healing Technology
With the self-healing technology now incorporated into Drobo S, your data is safer than ever. Even when sitting idle, Drobo S will continually examine the blocks and sectors on every drive, flagging questionable areas. This preemptive "scrubbing" helps ensure your data is being written only to the healthy areas of your drives, and that your data is always safe. Even if a drive fails, Drobo S keeps your data in the safest state possible, utilizing the available space on the remaining healthy drives.

Windows, Mac, Linux
Drobo S connects to Windows, Mac, and Linux2 systems and supports NTFS, HFS+, EXT3, and FAT32 file formats. Everyone can take advantage of simple, powerful, complete BeyondRAID data protection.
