Drobo V2 4 Bay Storage Array USB & FW800 & DroboShare Bundle

*Now with Drobo Copy*

DroboShare provides the fastest and easiest setup experience of any network attached storage product, not only out of the box, but also once you are up and running. Simply plug it in and you're good to go. Rock steady reliability ensures that you will stay connected, never again suffering another "dropped" network connection.

DroboShare can support two simultaneously connected Drobos. This means your networked storage can grow up to a theoretical 32TB on a single DroboShare since each Drobo can grow to 16TB as hard drive sizes expand. Since you're using Drobo, you can rest assured knowing your storage is not only safe, but also expandable at any time.

DroboShare supports DroboApps, an entire world of community-created and community-supported applications that can be run on DroboShare's Linux-based operating system. What you do with them is up to you. DroboShare is a computing platform that allows you to install the applications you want. Some are simple and lightweight, some are complex and powerful. The world is your server.

Gigabit Ethernet - Whether you're sharing video in a production studio or
streaming a high definition movie to your home media center, the ability to share your data over a local network is critical. DroboShare is equipped with Gigabit Ethernet to meet your demanding requirements.

BeyondNAS: Automatic setup in just seconds - Forget everything you've ever known about setting up network attached storage; DroboShare is radically simple to set up. Just plug it in. You'll wonder why you ever spent hours upon hours configuring other solutions.

Drobo Dashboard has the built-in intelligence to automatically search for any DroboShares on your network. Once it detects a DroboShare, it automatically mounts the drive and maps it to your operating system for Windows and OS X. You'll never need to worry about the hassle of creating individual volume shares, mapping IP addresses, or creating lists of extra drive letters.

DroboApps are Here to Serve You - Want to do more with your DroboShare? Traditional NAS devices ship with a fixed feature set that's like buying a computer or mobile phone that won't let you install your own applications. Drobo and DroboShare allow you to install the applications you want, when you want them. That means you can avoid the complexity of configuring applications you don't want, but you also have the flexibility to use the applications you do want.

What is a DroboApp? A DroboApp can do just about anything, just like an application on your computer. Some popular DroboApps include:
  • Firefly iTunes™ compatible media server
  • CTorrent BitTorrent™ client
  • Fuppes UPnP / DLNA media server
  • Yoics™ secure remote access
  • Lighttpd HTTP web server
  • FTPd FTP server
  • Time Tamer Time Machine™ utility Windows
  • Windows Capacity Filter
  • Rsync server
  • Linux Dashboard
  • NFS protocol
DroboApps are community-created and community-supported, which means they were not created by Data Robotics and thus you'll need to contact the developer for support and questions.
