- Joanne Tech Lover - Drobo B810n Review
Designed for networks of up to 100 users, the 16.256TB (4 x 4TB HDD, 1 x 256GB SSD) B810n 8-Bay NAS Server from Drobo may be used as a primary storage device for important files and documents, a place to backup files and projects, or as a way of connecting computers on your network. It also provides reliable storage for server applications, email, and data protection while integrating into TCP/IP network infrastructure via SMB and AFP protocols. Additionally, Adaptive Link Bonding brings link failover and link aggregation support support without Ethernet switch support to help increase data throughput and compensate for network connection problems.
The Drobo B810n is powered by a Marvell Quad-Core processor and 2GB of RAM. It has eight 3.5" drive bays which are able to support up to eight SATA hard drives or SSDs, with no tools being required for installing 2.5" SSD carriers. The drive bays also support 4KN disks. Within its eight drive bays, this Drobo B810n is equipped with 4 x 4TB hard drives and a 1 x 256GB SSDs for a total storage capacity of 16.256TB. As SSDs are able to operate with faster data transfer speeds, Data-Aware Tiering migrates the most frequently accessed data to the SSDs, while less accessed data is stored on the hard drives.
The Drobo 810n has also been built on BeyondRAID technology. If there are any empty drive bays, BeyondRAID allows additional drives to be inserted into the array, where they would be automatically configured. If all drive bays are occupied, simply replace the smallest capacity drive with a larger one and BeyondRAID will handle the rest. BeyondRAID is also what allows drives of varying capacities to work in the same unit, which helps enable future expansion as larger drives become available.
Built with a 3U rackmount form factor and controlled using Drobo's Dashboard software, the 810n is powered using an internal 100/240 VAC power supplies that operate at 1.8/0.75 A and 50/60 Hz. It is compatible with Windows and Mac. Included is 1 x 6.0' power cord, 2 x 6.0' Ethernet cables, and international LED labels for the front panel. This NAS server is protected by a limited 1-year warranty. - BeyondRAID Technology
- To expand the storage capacity of an array, BeyondRAID enables additional disk drives to be inserted into empty drive bays. These new drives are automatically and transparently configured for use in the array without user intervention. However, if all drive bays are occupied, simply replace the smallest capacity drive with a higher capacity one and BeyondRAID will do the rest.
Unlike traditional RAID arrays, the BeyondRAID technology in Drobo enables different drive capacities to work in the same unit. This enables future expansion as larger SATA drives become available. With Drobo, access to data is always maintained while it protects against simultaneous drive failures - SSD Accelerated Performance
- Most NAS systems have issues when multiple users are accessing data, as the many simultaneous requests cause overall system performance to decrease. This is because to fulfill all the requests, the hard drive's recording mechanism has to move around the disk. The drive spends more time looking for data blocks than it does reading or writing data for users.
The B810n was designed to provide users with uniform performance. Add two SSDs and you can accelerate performance for simultaneous users. Drobo uses two techniques to accelerate access to your data:
- Data Tiering: as transactional data (small pieces of data) are read or written, they are places into SSD storage. Subsequent reads or writes to these blocks are almost instantaneous, as there is no delay induced by a hard drive's magnetic head having to move into position. Active, or "hot" data is stored in an SSD tier of storage. As it cools, i.e. access decreases, the B810n will move the data to the hard drive tier
- Hot Data Cache: this is a technique to accelerate data reads. As data is read from hard drives, the B810n will pre-fetch nearby data that it predicts will be also be read. Your benefit is faster access and less waiting - Dual Ethernet Ports: Bond Together, or Failover
- The B810n has dual Gigabit Ethernet ports. These can be bonded together to provide approximately twice the read/write performance you get via a single port, or they can be used to provide a connection to two different subnets. Furthermore, they can be used in an "active/passive" mode so that if one port fails, the other takes over
- Share Files With OS X, Windows, or Linux Users
- The B810n works with computers running OS X, Windows, or Linux operating systems. By default, the Drobo B810n uses the SMB file sharing protocol to talk to OS X or Windows. If you set up a share for Time Machine backup, it uses Apple's AFP protocol. Linux users pick which file sharing method to use on their system
- Drobo DR: Offsite Data Replication Built-in
- The B810n has a feature called "Drobo DR" (DR = disaster recovery). You can set up a pair of B810n units to automatically make an offsite copy of your data. This provides an easy to setup offsite backup of your important data. Even better, the remote B810n stores all user account information so that recovery is simple
- Optimized for Time Machine
- One or more Macs on a network can use the Drobo B810n for storing their Time Machine backups. Create separate shares for use by Time Machine and assign them a maximum size. This lets users control how much space Time Machine uses, and stops it from taking over all storage on its backup target
- Designed for Hosting and Delivering Large Video Files
- This 8-Bay Drobo is well suited for security surveillance applications as well as hosting large amounts of video contained in a library. In fact, users that want to manipulate and render large video files will have no problem. The reason is that this Drobo is based on a Marvell Quad-Core processor with 2GB of RAM that uses a Linux operating system
- Protecting Your Critical Data from Power Loss
- Drobo protects your data from loss in the event of a sudden power outage. This protects directory structures, helping to ensure Drobo will remount on your computer. Drobo also has a battery inside that powers RAM memory. When there is a power outage, data is stored on internal flash-based non-volatile storage. Your data is safe until power returns. The battery recharges itself and lasts for the life of the product
- Add Customized Functionality With DroboApps
- DroboApps add functionality to your Drobo B810n. Whether it's cloud back up provided by either Crashplan or Elephant Drive or the video and music streaming offered through the Plex media server, these simple-to-install apps extend the capabilities of your Drobo B810n
- Drobo Dashboard
- Drobo Dashboard is an easy-to-use administration tool to centrally manage all your Drobos. It displays the status of all of your Drobos as if they were right in front of you. In fact, it provides the same status lights and storage capacity usage gauge that are on the front panel of each of your Drobos. So wherever you are, you can check the health of all your disk drives and know that Drobo has your back, keeping all your data safe. Plus the dashboard handles all administration tasks simply and easily without you needing to become a storage expert
- DroboCare
- DroboCare is simple, powerful protection for your Drobo storage. The DroboCare support program extends your peace of mind beyond the standard warranty term and phone support included with your Drobo purchase. In fact, DroboCare gives you more, even during your standard warranty period
