Drobo FS – Review

August 26, 2011March 2, 2025 Hard Drive, NAS, Network, Review 4

The Drobo FS is one of the latest hardware in the popular line of products from Drobo. It is a standalone NAS (Network-Attached Storage) that connects directly to the LAN network. This is the third Drobo I have bought and it fits well in the family of products. The particular interest in the Drobo FS is that it can operate almost as a standalone device once configured. In other words, it is a file server without a server. This device may be an ideal choice for home users or small businesses that need to share files within a group. In this review, we will explore the device together and see if that can meet some of your needs.

Verbatim MediaShare Home Network Storage Server
Review

March 2, 2011February 23, 2025 Hard Drive, NAS, Network, Review 0

The MediaShare has no shortage of connectivity options: gigabit Ethernet, two USB 2 ports for connecting other hard drives or printers, and an eSATA port to mirror to another hard drive. We connected to our local network via Ethernet cable, but chose to not add any external hard drives or printers for our initial tests.

January 4, 2011March 1, 2025 Hard Drive, Review 0

The G-Drive Slim is designed for the MacBook Air, but is compatible with any Mac running Mac OS 10.5 or higher. The matte aluminum finish looks stylish and keeps fingerprints away. A very nice feature of the G-Drive Slim is that it’s already formatted for Time Machine; one less thing to do when preparing for backup.
