- detaro 11y agoThey generally are not as well regarded. Nice and polished if they work, but less reliable than alternatives.
- ValentineC 11y agoScott Kelby, a fairly well-known photographer, isn't a huge fan of Drobo, most likely because they're using proprietary hardware RAID [1]. Synology, on the other hand, uses Linux mdadm. You can stick your RAIDed disks into a normal PC and access your data.

- mozumder 11y agoI've had one for about 7 or 8 years. It's worked perfectly fine. The original Drobos are slow, but I only use it for archival backup.
