Drobo 5N2 to Unifi NAS - Enquiries - 11-13-2024
With StorCentric filing for Chapter 7, I’m looking to migrate data from my Drobo 5N2 to a UniFi NAS Pro and integrate a cloud storage solution for cold storage.
Do you have any recommendations for a smooth transition?
I’m considering a network-based transfer and would need bidirectional syncing between the NAS devices, as well as a plan for organizing and migrating data to cloud storage.
Here are the details:
Storage Capacity: I need to migrate around 10-14TB of data into a new setup with 77TB total capacity.
Network & Bandwidth: The network is multi-gig capable, with broadband capped at 1.2 Gbps download and 500 Mbps upload. Internal structured cabling is CAT6, which should support a fast transfer speed within my network.
Power Redundancy: Each device has a 950W redundant power supply. However, UPS backup for the entire site is limited to 15 minutes, so worried if there are any longer transfer windows.
Broadband Redundancy: The site is primarily serviced by Comcast Business, wi

Thanks for sharing your setup and requirements! Here's a concise plan:
Data Migration: Use a network-based transfer with rsync or Resilio Sync for your 10-14TB of data, leveraging your multi-gig network for speed.
Cloud Integration: For cold storage, consider Backblaze B2 or Wasabi with tools like rclone for efficient uploads. Schedule uploads to avoid broadband congestion.
Bidirectional Sync: Set up Resilio Sync or Syncthing for real-time syncing between the Drobo and UniFi NAS Pro.
Power Risks: Break transfers into smaller batches to minimize potential data corruption during power interruptions.
Organization: Plan and organize data on the UniFi NAS for structured storage.
