Moving From Drobo - Enquiries - 10-26-2022
Hello,
I have a small business as a photographer and have been using the Drobo 5D3. I loved that it was so easy to get it up and going from my Mac and it has worked flawlessly for years. I am looking for a similar replacement and I'm hoping for the simplest solution for storage as I really don't need it for anything else. I am not on a network. I have used just over 50% of 14T at present and might need a bit more. Since I don't understand how these storage devices work, can you please suggest something easy that would work for me? As well, what would be the best method of transferring the data form the Drobo to the new storage system?
Thank you for your assistance.

Yes, with the new Ventura update, there is no more support for Drobo.
You may consider other DAS solutions such as TerraMaster or Pegasus.

Thank you for these suggestions. I will look into them. What would be the best way to transfer data from the Drobo to one of these storage systems. I appreciate your help.

You will need to connect both RAID drives to the MAC or PC. Then you can copy and paste data. There is no easier way than this.

Sounds easy enough as soon as I figure out what and where the RAID drives are! ??Thanks again!

I mean both systems - 5D3 and the Pegasus for example.
