## Description

Built on proven BeyondRAID technology, coupled with hybrid storage and innovative Data Aware Tiering, the Drobo B810n delivers a level of automation and technical sophistication usually reserved for more expensive enterprise solutions. And, this product is as easy to use as a personal Drobo. The Drobo B810n is perfect for small and medium sized businesses, and creative power users. It provides reliable, high-performance, and self-optimizing storage for server applications, email, and data protection. It integrates seamlessly into a TCP/IP network infrastructure and utilizes the industry-standard SMB and AFP protocols to provide powerful, yet simple, consolidated storage for your IT environment. It comes with port bonding support also known as Adaptive Link Bonding for link failover and link aggregation without Ethernet switch support to increase data throughput and compensate for network connection problems. Drobo B810n is optimized for Apple’s Time Machine allowing one or more Macs on a network to store their Time Machine backups. Drobo B810n supports separate Time Machine shares and allows them to be assigned a maximum size. This lets users control how much space Time Machine uses, and stops it from taking over all storage on its backup target. Supports myDrobo Platform and DroboAccess encrypted-end-to-end remote access. As well as DroboPix, that allows secure and automatic uploads of mobile photos and videos. DroboApps support including: CrashPlan, ElephantDrive, BitTorrent Sync, ownCloud and Plex. Operating System Support: Mac OS X 10.8 & later releases, Windows 7 & later releases.

Review: ... months now and I can say this NAS is great. Transfer speeds are fine for what we need ... - I've had my business' Drobo B810n for almost 6 months now and I can say this NAS is great. Transfer speeds are fine for what we need (~120-160 MBps, no less than 110) and it's instantly responsive whenever being used. I cannot attest to how well this would would in a large user environment but with 10 people using it throughout the day we have had no issues. We're a small business and this provides more space than we possibly need at the moment with 21 Terabytes with dual disk redundancy and the ability to expand should we need it. Expanding is super easy, just remove one drive and insert another one, waiting for the rebuild/re-balance to finish should you need to replace more than one drive. I also have one off site which mirrors the one on site. Mirroring is easy, just point it at the IP of the target Drobo. I recommend the first Mirror being done at the same site unless you have Gigabit internet. As for support I can't talk about recovering data using outside solutions as Drobo isn't a standard raid file system (Ext3/4, ZFS), instead using a proprietary system, but I can say that my site had one almost major issue that was resolved without issue. 3 months after purchase my site had a serious power issue due to brownouts causing the Drobo to eventually refuse to power up (we've since purchased a UPS for the Drobo). I went ahead and bought Drobocare as this was an urgent matter and I didn't want to wait for someone to get back to me via email or for my unit to be shipped to them and then returned after repair. Drobocare is expensive but I was able to call their support line, instantly get a hold of an engineer, provide my info and they shipped me a new unit right away. It arrived the very next day, I swapped the drives and we were up and running while it rebuilt itself. The NAS is usable while rebuilding. We haven't had any problems since. Overall I'm very happy with this storage solution. All and all an extremely well performing NAS that's dead simple to implement.
Review: Work in Progress: Disconnects... Workflow Issues - This device disconnects a lot and prompts me to sign in... mid backup. I'm copying over files from my SD cards and computer from each video shoot I complete, but the copy fails sometimes because it disconnects. I've submitted multiple support tickets and spent countless hours troubleshooting - however, to Drobo's credit, their customer support team is on it and they really care about making sure this unit works. I use the 5D3 Drobo as well and it hasn't given me any problems. I'm still a Drobo fan, but it seems like the B810n has a few more steps to take before it can fit into my workflow.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great hardware, some technical hiccups with support
*by A***X on October 16, 2017*

The hardware is fantastic. The only thing (that was) keeping this from 5 stars is the abysmal customer support from Drobo post-purchase. Update (2017-10-16): I was personally contacted today (by email and then by phone) by Valorie from Drobo. I explained my grievances to her, and we were able to determine that there were apparently some fairly major technical issues with their CRM software (support ticket system) which somehow meant that I never received any emails or updates for the support cases I created. She assured me that they are working internally to determine what happened and to resolve this issue. Update (2017-11-16): After a lot of work on their end, their support ticket system seems to be fixed, and I can see all the comments on my cases now, and I actually get emails when they reply to the case. Raising this review to 5 stars for their dedication to fixing this critical issue. Update (2019-03-05): Last month, one of the cooling fans started making interesting noises, so I opened a support ticket to have it repaired (I don't have DroboCare). After some back and forth, comparing the sound of the unit with and without disks, etc., they determined that I would need to RMA the unit. When they gave me the address I needed to send it to, I noticed that it was only a few miles from my house, so I asked if I could just drive it over myself. I expected a bureaucratic, "no, you have to mail it, that's the policy," but they actually told me that would be absolutely fine! When I got there, a really nice employee (sorry, I don't remember your name) offered to repair the unit while I waited. 40 minutes later, I had a fully repaired Drobo and was on my way. If I could give 6 stars for Drobo's support team going above and beyond, I would.
