On the left, is my old Drobo with it's four drives still in place. On the right is my new DroboPro. You can see that it has 8 drive bays as compared to the 4 drive bays as the original Drobo.
Upgrading was a piece of cake. I bought two new 1Tb drives with the new DroboPro. All that was needed to switch from Drobo to DroboPro was to place the 4 drives from Drobo into DroboPro and turn it on. After it finished booting up, I placed the new drives into DroboPro (one at a time) and now I have six 1Tb drives up and running.
Read more about my reasons, as a photographer, for using the Drobo technology versus standard drives or even RAID drives on my original post last year.
