Greetings!

"By accident, we found Data Robotics' Drobo on the Internet. Drobo is a storage box for up to four hard drives; you connect the device via USB 2.0. eSATA would have been wonderful indeed, but USB 2.0. also seems sufficient for the purpose. A main plus is how Drobo enables users to insert as many additional drives as they wish to safely upgrade capacity. Drobo makes sure that data organization is appropriate and all data is safe, Data Robotics says."
