But the software and functionality are completely different. This is going to be as different as going from a Blackberry to an iPhone. DSM is a Linux desktop environment. I usually like to do reviews when I can tell you all about something but this one is going to be the gift that keeps on giving.
For now, I did it the old-fashioned way by mounting both devices and copying using the Finder. While those exist, the Synologys are computers with applications and lots of fun tools. There are even apps for mobile devices that look really fun. I presume there are equivalent apps for Android as well.
That should be hours and hours of entertainment. But before we could dig into the fun of these apps, Steven and I had an important goal: to get syncing going from the Drobo 5N2 to the Synology Disk Station, and hopefully before I go on vacation on Monday. The Drobo 5N2 and Synology do not have a superset of applications that will allow me to sync directly.
The Synology has a backup application called Hyper Backup but we never cracked the code on how to consistently get the Drobo to mount to the Synology and be recognized by Hyper Backup.
I was trying to avoid using the current solution, which was to run Chronosync on a Mac mini to keep the two Drobos in sync. It will be fun to learn with him on this. Hi Alison! Enjoy vacation… Rally. I bet I had to use it 5 times in this message alone. You gave me an idea on the control-T thing to swap characters. Maybe I should do one tip a week so it has time to sink in?
It is the fifth comment in the thread. Similar situation here. I have a 5N2 that I use through itunes through windows 10 as a media server. I have a 5N that I use as a backup. Both are assigned drive letters. So I give this a poor grade in media support, when that isn't what it's supposed to do anyway. Gigabit Ethernet means plenty of bandwidth for streaming off the array. Word of warning: although BeyondRAID has its advantages, array called "packs" compatibility between devices is select.
You can transplant a pack from one kind of Drobo to another as long as it recognizes the file system. I learned this the hard way. So I had to buy all new drives for the new FS and just sell my old Drobo with drives. There's a compatibility chart on Drobo's website, as well as a capacity calculator that comes in handy when you need a quote of how much usable space you'll get with your drives. As pretty as this device is, it's not meant to sit on your desk, especially if that means your bedroom.
This thing can get loud, especially if you disable power saving to spin down the disks. As cheap as this may sound, Drobo is the Apple of storage. It just works. I never have to tinker with it and it's never failed. Could it fail? But everything can fail. Feel free to compare failure rates on the device itself to other devices, not drives. Sure, Drobos are more expensive than the competition that has the same number of bays, but you pay for functionality and reliability.
This is definitely more aimed at business to enterprise than consumers, but if you have TBs of data worth protecting, you might want to investigate this.
