Drobo is unlike any other storage product. If you want to configure RAID levels, stripe sizes, volumes etc.. FORGET IT!
Drobo does all this for you totally automatically. It is designed to plug in and work. Adding additional disk drives is a cinch open the protective anti static bag, insert the disk drive and let Drobo do the rest!
