Reviews of the Drobo DroboShare
-
CNET Review
The Good: Incredibly simple to set up and manage; can switch from networked-attached to direct-attached storage; can connect two Drobos to DroboShare; supports major file systems NTFS, HFS+, FAT32, or EXT3.
The Bad: DroboShare costs an extra $200 on top of the Drobo, which, it might be argued, should have included an Ethernet port in the first place; cannot designate different access rights to specific users on your network.
The Bottom Line: For those bemoaning the lack of network support on last year's innovative Drobo drive, DroboShare offers Gigabit Ethernet and as simple and straightforward a setup as we found with the direct-attached Drobo.
