No Headache Data Redundancy

Drobo utilizes a revolutionary storage technology that makes it simple for anyone to use, yet is powerful enough for business. Once you experience the power of Drobo, the idea of keeping multiple external drives or a RAID 5 array will seem as antiquated as that 28.8Kbps modem in the back of your closet.

Incomparable Expandability

Your library of data grows every moment. Now, your storage solution expands in seconds, too. Drobo holds up to four hard drives, can expand at any time, and supports up to 16TB on a single volume as disk sizes increase. Choose how big you want your Drobo today with any combination of drives capacities.

Speed Demon: FireWire 800 & USB 2.0

Why compromise? Safety and accessibility now go hand in hand. Experience Drobo with both FireWire 800 and USB 2.0. It’s the data protection and peace of mind you need with the performance and interface you want.

DroboApps: Community-created apps

DroboApps enable customers to interact with their Drobo and DroboShare in exciting and novel ways that everyone from typical home users to Linux enthusiasts will appreciate. DroboApps opens up a world of possibilities including, iTunes' music server, UPnP and DLNA media streaming, BitTorrent's downloading, FTP and Web server functionality and remote access via the Yoics' client, among others.

Hard Drives a la carte
Unlike other storage solutions, Drobo allows you to purchase as much or as little storage as you like up front. Since you can expand at any time, Drobo is the right solution for your budget.

Mac, Windows, Linux*
Drobo works with all three major operating system platforms and their native file systems.

*Linux support currently in Beta.

Features

Go Faster with FireWire 800. Vastly Improved USB 2.0.
With FireWire 800 alongside USB 2.0 and an upgraded core processor, Drobo is now the fastest product in its class. It is the perfect solution for both primary and backup storage of large media and productivity files such as video, photos, music, audio, and troves of documents and spreadsheets. In fact, even if you’re now using USB 2.0, the new Drobo is up to three times as fast its predecessor in typical usage.

Consumer Mindset, Enterprise Feature Set.
Drobo was designed to meet a stringent design requirement: Anyone should be able to use Drobo regardless of technical experience. It is ready to go out of the box and will always stay that way. That’s why Drobo is considered a storage robot—it does all the work of managing an enterprise-grade your storage system for you.

No Software or Drivers are Needed!
Drobo’s magic comes from the software that’s built into the hardware called BeyondRAID™ that you’ll never need to configure. Drobo does absolutely everything for you from “automagically” expanding capacity when you add a drive, to self-healing around drive failures and data errors. If you’re the geeky type, Drobo has an optional software utility, Drobo Dashboard, that shows you what Drobo is up to and adds advanced functionality if you desire it.

1.0TB Barracuda 7200.12
The Seagate® Barracuda® 7200.12 hard drive combines proven technology and components with industry-leading manufacturing expertise to deliver
1.0 TB of sustainable desktop storage with 32-MB cache.

By combining sustainable Seagate technology and components with industry-leading volume manufacturing, this Seagate® Barracuda® 7200.12 drive delivers 1 TB of green, low-power yet high-performance, desktop storage. It embodies the highest levels of reliability, performance and capacity. And this latest generation is a leader in environmentally friendly storage.

After years of pioneering research at Seagate, perpendicular recording is now a proven technology. It increases capacity and dependability by storing data vertically, rather than horizontally. And vertically stored data bits mean increased data density—which means higher performance to increase productivity.

- Typically 70 percent or more of the materials used to build the drive is recycled.
- Complies with the RoHS directive
12th generation of the world’s most popular desktop hard drive

The Eco-Friendly Choice

The Seagate® Barracuda® 7200.12 drive delivers power savings without sacrificing performance. Customers can manufacture eco-friendly PC and external storage systems that meet energy-savings requirements.

The drive combines proven technology with expert manufacturing to deliver up to 1 TB of desktop storage. Customers can have the best of both worlds—top harddrive performance and a high-capacity drive with a very small eco-footprint. Seagate minimizes the impact of our products and operations on the environment with efficiency measures, such as replacing or renovating less-efficient equipment, resulting in a 20 percent increase in production efficiency on a per-hard-drive basis. This delivered a 158.93 million kWh savings in six months, or enough energy to power nearly 15,000 U.S. homes for one year. Seagate also has deployed aggressive waste minimization and recycling programs in facilities worldwide.

Seagate hard drives have long been produced with the environment in mind, and not just with low power consumption. With Seagate and the Barracuda 7200.12 drive, our customers can have the best of both worlds—top hard-drive performance and the satisfaction of knowing they are using a high-capacity drive with a very small eco-footprint.

The Barracuda product family complies with the RoHS directive on hazardous materials.
