Review: Drobo NAS can expand storage on the fly with same or different sized HDs - The Drobo NAS was easy to set up and worked great from the start. It is especially handy that one can hot plug additional storage on the fly with HDs that are the same size or a different size than the original drives it was populated with. I wished it had options for backing up to the cloud in addition to Elephant Drive, particularly Backblaze B2 and desertcart S3 & Glacier. Review: Arrived broken and DroboCare 7/24 does not answer on a Sunday - I bought my first Drobo 5 years ago and love it. I bought this one with great expectations. I set it up and left it overnight to burn in. Today all the lights are flashing and the Drobo is very hot and won't mount. I bought DroboCare so I figured I would give them a call. I registered the DrobCare account, created a support ticket as directed on the website, and called the number I received and my DroboCare email. NO LUCK. Just voice mail. So much for 7x24 support. Three hours later: Time to pack up my broken Drobo, return it to desertcart and buy a competitive product. I am really disappointed in Drobo. I used to love them... Dear Drobo, if you are going to sell 7x24 support, you need to be available 7x24..... ## Features - Highly scalable network storage array. 64TB filesystem support - Gigabit Ethernet connectivity x2.

I bought this one with great expectations. I set it up and left it overnight to burn in. Today all the lights are flashing and the Drobo is very hot and won't mount. I bought DroboCare so I figured I would give them a call.

Dear Drobo, if you are going to sell 7x24 support, you need to be available 7x24..... ### ⭐⭐ Drobo Support is nonexistant. *by G***H on August 18, 2019* Do not buy a drobo if you want technical support of any kind. Do not buy a drobo if you want to run plex on it, its not fast enough. The support forums they host are down all of the time and email support will send you a doucment that does not help in the least bit or they say they don't have the information on why SMB and SSH use different authentication schemes and why they can't be synchronized through the drobo dashboard. You must know how to add your own SSH users using the linux interface if you want another user to SFTP into your drobo. When your drobo reboots the username and password that you created in SSH will be lost. Only the usernames and passwords saved through the drobo dashboard, which only affects windows file sharing, will persist after a device reboot. Also the drobo CPU is extremely slow. There is a synology NAS for the same price that is 2GHZ, and believe if you want to setup a plex, you need a better CPU than what is in the drobo. The quad core CPU in the drobo is an absolute slug. Not even the SSD cache that came with mine can save its performance to be acceptable. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/160939440-drobo-5n2-20tb-network-attached-storage-nas-5-drive-array](https://www.desertcart.in/products/160939440-drobo-5n2-20tb-network-attached-storage-nas-5-drive-array) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
