Reply to How much quieter is 'quieter' on v2 drobo? on July 9, 2008

you got a PM mark ;)

Reply to How much quieter is 'quieter' on v2 drobo? on July 8, 2008

Is a possible replacement the v2 drobo, or still v1 but quieter? I just recently bought mine (May) and it almost always sounds like a jet engine :(

Reply to How much quieter is 'quieter' on v2 drobo? on July 8, 2008

NIC/eSATA would be nice ..... but the defining feature (which they should've done in the first one) for me is the quieter operating noise. This thing is in my cabinet, and I can still CLEARLY...

Reply to Airdisk + Time Machine on June 1, 2008

I'm using an AEBS (only the AEBS can attach hard drives), computer and aebs/drobo is about 20 ft away, low interference, channels are not interfering with others (everyone is on channel 6, i'm on 11),...

Reply to AEBS + Express + Drobo Media Server Ques on May 31, 2008

Just remember that Drobo's fan is not that quiet, in case that matters ...

Could the bug fixes be free and the feature updates be charged minimal fees (

Reply to Fan suggestions on May 27, 2008

Agreed, I'd be willing to void my warranty for quiet fans on the drobo too. Mine when in use, has this very consistent slightly high-pitched "buzz" sound .... :(

iPhone updates are not charged

Congrats ;) The Air is an amazing companion for the frequent traveler. It's not the most powerful ever, but that's not the point .... super light for the screen-size, and dare I say absolutely beautiful...

Reply to Clarification of DroboCare on May 23, 2008

Very interested in getting this clarified. Very bad idea if they charge for firmware upgrades after the one year mark. If so, I'd consider buying a different product and shifting my data there instead :(

Reply to What? No love for early adopters? on May 23, 2008

wait a minute ..... So effective after one year from your purchase date... firmware upgrades are no longer valid/upgradeable? Or just not supported? Either way, that blows for a BARE box that we've spent $450-600...

Reply to Incorrect Lights on the Front? on May 18, 2008

all western digital GREEN POWER 1TB drives .... :(

Reply to Drobo with (4) 750 GB on Airport Extreme on May 15, 2008

it's also very slow for me over wired AND wireless to the AEBS (GbE model) ..... wifi: average between 600KB-1MB gigabit wired: about 900KB-2MB :(

Reply to AirDisk + Drobo = not working? on May 7, 2008

For now i'm just leaving the "unsupported volumes" CLI hack in place to allow for the TM backups .... no clear answer yet on the forums why some volumes don't show up as a TM-supported...

Reply to AirDisk + Drobo = not working? on May 4, 2008

Yup, I have the new 7.3.1 firmware upgrade [and updated OS X to 10.5.2] AirDisk is not "supported" by Apple (in terms of technical support), but the feature IS enabled and many others are using...

Reply to Rebuilding after I wanted to move a drive to a different slot on May 3, 2008

I moved the drive in and out for awhile, after the two drives had solid lights. But I think my issue is fixed now (all 3 green lights) ... I just turned off the drobo,...

Reply to Time Capsule, Time Machine, Airport Extreme and Drobo on May 1, 2008

Is the 2TB limit per partition on the Airport Extreme? Or does that mean that 2TB is the maximum total that the drobo can share via the USB port on the Airport Extreme? Right now...

Reply to Request - Temperature Display and Fan Control on April 30, 2008

definitely agree, temp/fan controls would be nice .... esp if this can be done via droboshare too

Reply to Is Drobo reliable? on April 29, 2008

corndog: after you formatted it as 16TB, what size partitions did you give split the drobo into?

Reply to Dashboard over Airport Extreme USB? on April 29, 2008

no idea, but i would assume dashboard could send it's data over ethernet to other computers. Or at the very least, allow for email notifications ...

Reply to How to partition size of Drobo [finally got the drobo today!] :) on April 29, 2008

that's what i ended up going with last night :P 2+6. I already have a TB drive formatted so I took the byte size for that, doubled it, and put in the 10 digits for...

Reply to Dashboard over Airport Extreme USB? on April 28, 2008

I have :P How about getting dashboard access via SMB?

Reply to VERY cheap 1TB drive on April 23, 2008

about $200 each here in the states. With that said, I'm using two of these in my G5, and 3 WD10EACS [WD 1TB green power drives] in the drobo for ultimately quietness and power consumption

Reply to What happens when drobo is full from Time Machine data? on April 22, 2008

If I stick in 3x1TB hard drives, what should the partition size be for the Drobo? (slightly under 2 TB?) In the future when I add in a 4th TB hard drive, can I dynamically...

Reply to Discount? on April 21, 2008

anybody with an update to this? Seems like all the retailers raised their prices because of the rebate that's floating around........ I was about to buy on Amazon for $450, now it's $483 :(

Reply to Increasing storage size by adding new drive? on April 21, 2008

Since I don't know what size drives I'll have in the future, should I just tell it that I'll need a 10TB volume (even though I really only have 3 drives, and thus 2TB)? How...

Reply to Time Capsule, Time Machine, Airport Extreme and Drobo on April 21, 2008

SuiteB: here's the link to the Apple discussion... http://discussions.apple.com/message.... Apparently this was fixed in the latest firmware upgrade, but it had to do with sparseimagebundle's not losing the space alloted to it when it reaches...

Reply to Dynamic partiton resizing on April 11, 2008

docchris: maybe it's supported but no one's attempted it? [other than inundated, maybe he/she's an isolated casae]

Reply to Dynamic partiton resizing on April 10, 2008

anyone know if this is supported?
