There's a New Drobo in Town

If you’ve read my article, Regarding Backups where I discuss my data storage and backup process, you know I’m a fan of the Drobo, an external, expandable, RAID device.

Today, Data Robotics has announced a brand new version of the Drobo. I’ve known about it for a little while, but haven’t been able to talk about it until the official announcement today.

So what’s new? The Drobo now supports Firewire 800, and has a faster processor for the behind-the-scenes magic that handles the data redundancy. It’s also said to be cooler and quieter, something everybody can appreciate. The Drobo people tell me they’ve been working to make the new Drobo a device for everybody, and the speed improvement looks like just the thing we’ve been waiting for.

And the icing on the cake: they’re keeping the price the same.
