Robot Backup

[1]One of my favorite finds at this year's CES came from a company called Data Robotics, Inc [2]. The product that I talked about at length with CEO Dr. Geoff Barrall is called teh Drobo. I tried to get my video of this product to post at YouTube, but for some reason it wouldn't take this one.

The Drobo holds up to 4 Serial ATA hard drives that can be inserted and removed at any time whether the machine is on or not. Drobo accepts any size and brand of drive up to 1 terabyte each! I enjoyed seeing and learning about this product because there is absolutely no setup, configuration or maintenance on the part of the computer user. Simply plug the unit into a high speed USB drive and Drobo takes care of the rest. It automatically backs up your data on up to 4 different drives and dynamically stores the data so that you will never have a loss...barring any catostropic loss due to fire, 5 story drop of the unit or something similar.

If this helped, consider buying me a beer or an Americano! [4]
