Adventures in Drobo-land, upgrading to a Drobo 5N

I have a couple of Drobos that I’m very happy with. One 5D that I’m mirroring to an FS. Both have been basically trouble free.

One thing to bear in mind about RAID is that it isn’t a replacement for a proper backup. RAID won’t protect you if the array dies, becomes corrupt, or if you accidentally delete a file. Backup anything really important to another drive.
