Can I expand the storage capacity of my Drobo device? If so, how?

Asked a year ago
Yes, you can expand the storage capacity of your Drobo device. Drobo offers various options for increasing your storage space. If your device has drive bays available, you can simply insert additional hard drives of matching sizes. Drobo's BeyondRAID technology will automatically incorporate these drives, expanding your capacity without requiring manual configuration or data migration. Alternatively, you can also replace smaller drives with larger ones, allowing you to gradually increase your storage space over time. Drobo also supports the addition of an expansion unit, which can be connected via the appropriate interface (e.g., Thunderbolt, USB, or Ethernet). This expansion unit provides even more drive bays, allowing for substantial storage expansion. Overall, expanding the storage capacity of your Drobo device is a straightforward process, giving you the flexibility to adapt to your changing storage needs.
