Curious what throughput you get. I just bought the smallest cheapest
drobo with a single 3TB drive and got about 35 MB/s throughput, which
seems kinda slow but was good enough for my home media setup. I'll add
another drive when I can fit it into the budget so the thing stops

Scott,
I've had two NetGear ReadyNAS units to date, Having previously used DroBo ones.
I started out with the 4 bay unit, I think called the ReadyNAS NV+ and sold
that recently and upgraded to the newer model of the same unit.
The new model supports both iScsi and regular FS at the same time, s
Hi Scott,
Thanks for following up on this. The strange thing is that the earlier versions
of the software were quite accessible. It was when they reached version 2 the
problems started. Looking forward to seeing what you can find out.

Neil,
Ok, sorry if I misunderstood your message. Btw, I understand that Drobo has
gone to some sort of magnetic solution for the door flap. Which Netgear did you
choose? I am not as familiar with their products, but I would be curious how
accessible is the interface and what made you choose the

Absolutely, it was not my intention to say that, just bevause it is not
accessible, we should give up on it... Or like wise, as it is expensive.

Neil I hear you, but there is no reason not to explore the possibility to make
the dashboard accessible as well. I have a WD solution that has a pretty
difficult html interface and it gets the job done as well. However, I would
certainly not discourage anyone from using a solution just because o
Doug, I make no promises and I cannot even tell you what will come of this.
However, I have been working through a vendor who has connected me to a nice
young lady named Abby at Drobo and she is going to start researching things on
her end. I would love to have some resources on how Java-based a
No, the DroBo dash board is not accessible, from both an accessibility and cost
point, the NetGear ReadyNAS appliances are both accessible, using an HTML based
interface, but also far cheaper and just as reliable in my experience.
They also take advantage of a sort of expandable flexible RAID so
Hi Skott,
As of this writing Drobo Dashboard is not accessible. When you launch the
program VoiceOver does not see the program's controls. It would be nice if we
could get in contact with the developer and get them to do something about this
problem. I havent been able to update a Drobo FS in mo
Well for grins I went ahead and downloaded the Drobo dashboard and it is not
accessible and probably because it is java-based.

All,
I was talking with someone today about nas devices and some issues I have been
having. He mentioned the Drobo which I know is pretty expensive and he was
explaining that you access the Drobo via a dashboard app that also requires you
to install java. I asked if he had ever thought to see i
