Back with the latest news about the Drobo line of products is Mark Fuccio, Senior Director for Data Robotics. Mark outlines the just-added features of the Drobo Dashboard for their Drobo FS, a file server that delivers the trademark Drobo benefits, and now supports Apple’s Time Machine backup utility. The free (yes, free) update adds Time Machine support to the Drobo FS. Mark explains how the new feature allows you to decide how much of the Drobo FS’ capacity is used for Time Machine, the ease of set up, and how they are giving back to the open source community as part of this update. Mark also covers the benefits and tradeoffs of using “green” drives in any of the Drobo models.
