My Mac Says Drobo has 2 Terabytes
of Capacity
When you look at the properties for your Drobo using any of your Mac tools such
as Finder or Get Info, you will find that your Mac sees Drobo as a 2 Terabyte
(TB) drive. This property allows Drobo to easily expand, without forcing very
complex management and configuration.
Drobo lets you add capacity in seconds, whenever you need it. We have
designed Drobo to appear as 2 TBs so that you can easily grow your capacity.
As larger capacity hard drives become available every year, so when you have
added capacity that exceeds 2 TB, Drobo will create an additional disk for your
Mac. It will be an additional "virtual" hard drive for your Mac, where both virtual
drives become the total capacity in Drobo.
If you want to know the current used capacity on your Drobo, you can get a quick
idea with a glance at the capacity meter on the front.
As a monitoring feature, Drobo will always warn you if you are starting to run low
on available space. If you want detailed information about the space, see the
Drobo Dashboard.
