Determining How Much Hard Drive Space You Need

In order to protect your data from hard drive failure, your Drobo device requires more space than
what you will use for your data, sometimes as much as

double or more

the amount of space.

The best way to determine how much usable, protected storage space you will have
available for your data, based on the number and capacity of your drives, is to use our
Capacity Calculator at

http://www.drobo.com/resources/calculator.php

.

A shortcut to estimating the capacity available for your data is to omit the largest drive and
then add the capacity of the remaining drives. If you plan to use Dual Disk Redundancy, omit
the largest

two

drives. For example:

Single Disk (Default) Redundancy

Dual Disk Redundancy

Notes:

- Actual capacity is often less than what is shown in the examples above due to the

different systems used for rating capacity. This has nothing to do with Drobo devices.

- Know that all Drobo devices enable you to easily increase storage capacity at any

time by simply inserting additional drives or replacing smaller drives with larger ones.

Using a Router or Switch

If you are connecting a Drobo B800i to a router or switch, your router or switch needs to
support gigabit Ethernet connections (1000 Mbit/s) for optimal performance. Although your
Drobo B800i will auto-negotiate the highest connection speed available to your router or
switch, iSCSI does not perform well at slower speeds.

Using an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) or Power Surge Protector

We highly recommend you plug your Drobo device into an uninterruptible power supply
(UPS), which protects against sudden losses in power as well as power surges. We also
recommend a power surge protector, although this only protects against power surges.
