Whether you have returned from a trip to Las Vegas, Miami, Hawaii, Tampa, Bahamas, Mexico or California, or you are a professional Orlando Wedding Photographer, a portraits photographer or a destination wedding photographer you would have understood the utility of storing your precious images you had taken at these places with your expertise. Remember the precious moments you had spent with your loved ones at the Miami Beach or are when someone stole your clothes near the beach when you were busy taking the photograph of your loved one. You had to return to your hotel with just one cloth.
But who cares for the cloths when you have captured your precious moments at the Miami Beach. But one thing most of the people face is regarding storing tons of photographs. If you’re a destination wedding photographer or are a famous Orlando wedding photograph or just start taking picture of your new baby, storing images on your computer is the most vital task. They say is not “if” but “when” your Hard Driver will crash … The other day when we were gossiping I suggested my colleague the renowned Orlando portraits photographer to use “Drobo”. Made by Data Robotics, the Drobo has revolutionized the way a person store his/her data. I have been using Drobo for the last three years and found it a great reliable product to bank upon. I give to this company at list 25 new costumer until now so if Data Robotics is reading this … ( wink..wink 
CAPISH?) just for clarify I’m NOT receiving any endorsement or sponsorship from this company … I do this because I believe in viral marketing and also because I’m a happy costumer of Data Robotics!!! For me It works better than RAID. It not only give your data a shield against hard drive failures but it works more like an enclosure in which 2 to 4 SATA hard drives of any size or brand can be kept along with the multiple copies of your important files.
It is its competence to endure drive failures and use any SATA hard drives that makes it both amazing and exceptional for a consumer product
“Did you know that there’s a greater limit of 2 TB on a single USB volume, if the Drobo’s storage capacity exceeds that limit, your computer will in that case see two Drobo volumes”, I just got a call from one of my colleague who had just returned from Mexico and Bahamas from an assignment and I guided him via phone with the installation of his new Drobo Unit with intel mac-mini, believe me it was like a child’s play, in fact after installing the two drives and plugging it perfectly Drobo will automatically starts formatting. As Drobo has the capability to store backup of DVD collection and is the number one product in preserving the integrity of the DVD disks Drobo has now become an essential part of the home entertainment system.
What I like about Drobo is it has a killer looks, just like a great Camera body or that new lens that you just need to have, its size can expand as your storage needs grow up, it is easy to use and has almost unlimited data storage, Its data redundancy ensures availability, even if up to 2 hard drives fail.
Physically, the looks of Drobo will almost give a desktop PC or a new mac book pro a run for the money. I have now turned out to be a fan of Drobo’s black, glossy ends (front and back) are in reality stunning. Its decorated indicators and a lineup of ten LEDs along the bottom will give a clue of the consumption of its total capacity. However, if you come across a flashing red light it means a drive failure, it is time to pull failed drive out and put a new one. No more hassles. just pull the old one and insert the new one! this make buy storage more affordable, because at any time you found a cheep and bigger hard drive you can pull the smaller and put the new and big storage unit, so just look for the HD on sale
As Drobo works almost like an external storage device It looks and behave as a typical hard disk which can however be retrieved and formatted from the Disk Management Screen. The elegant part of Drobo is that it showcases all the storage as a single virtual pool - the more disks you append, the bigger it gets. Upgrading storage is painless, as you have to remove the smallest drive and insert a larger one leaving the Drobo to restructure the pool. Most of my colleagues at various locations who are using Drobo informed me that they have found their storage solution with the Drobo in few words the Drobo is the perfect HARD DRIVE back up for Photographers. It not only offers the data redundancy but has the capacity to stock up over 36,000 photos alive and well maintained. The good part of it is that it works on both Mac and PC. It is unquestionably a value for money product. One thing is sure, that it will grow with me as my data storage requirements get bigger. For more info or for the Drob0 web site click HERE
