Google on “Drobo doesn’t mount with OS “and you’ll see what I mean. Drobo’s have a history of going incognito with Mac OS. 56,000 photo images were “in there,” but still lost. These two drives did NOT reformat, my data remained intact, but after a long “sleep,” Drobo wouldn’t mount to the Mac (see next point). Cloned them (just in case), then inserted them (as recommended in Drobo Article AA-01416).
#DISKWARRIOR UPGRADE PRO#
staring at the remaining two empty drive bays, I was hesitant to insert the two populated 2TB’s I had harvested from my Mac Pro for fear they too would be reformatted and I’d lose years of images, documents, etc. So I bought a THIRD 4TB to get my data storage capacity up. As promised, my 5C reformatted them, but as noted above, not all of the 8TB was available for data storage. Finding this, I put 2 brand new 4TB’s in the new device.
#DISKWARRIOR UPGRADE FULL#
you can’t just slip a drive full of data into your NEW Drobo, because, inconveniently, Drobo will erase it and reformat it. The remainder? 3.80 TB “Used for protection,” and 10.10 GB used for “overhead.” Be warned not all your “there” is there. However my (usable) data storage capacity is 10.72 TB (67%). I have 16 TB across 5 drives (4, 4, 4, 2 and 2 TB). over half of your largest disk drive will be rendered unusable for data storage.
It’s the only thing that saved my butt (see below). But mostly love it, probably.Īfter about a month with my Drobo and my Mac, here are a few things NOT in the marketing materials: Watch my product spotlight on this great product from Drobo and how efficiently it works with ON1 Photo RAW 2018.Īnd, we even have a special offer from Drobo for all ON1 customer’s for a limited time! Head on over to Drobo and you can save 10% on any item using the discount code DROBOON1. Using both the Drobo 5D3 and ON1 Photo RAW 2018 I not only can access and organize my files extremely fast and efficiently, but I also can rest easy knowing that all my files are automatically being backed up for me by the 5D3. With raw file sizes becoming larger and larger, advanced camera capabilities becoming more accessible and easy for use, and with the rise of mobile photography and videography- managing, storing, and backing up files can quickly become one of the biggest pain points for creatives. The new Drobo 5D3 solves many problems that myself and many modern photographers and videographers currently face. I have a brand new Drobo 5D3 that I’ll go over and show you how I use it and ON1 Photo RAW 2018 together in my professional workflow. I’m excited to share a review of a company’s product that I’ve been using for quite some time as my main photo & video storage and backup solution.
