Drobo 5N2 5-Bay Self-Managing NAS Review

Specifications, Software, and Power Consumption

Specifications

The specifications are taken directly from the manufacturer’s website and are as such subject to change in possible future revisions of the product.

Dashboard

The dashboard isn’t a web interface as you’re used to from other NAS devices, so you don’t need to remember IP addresses for your device. Instead, it’s an application that you install on the client system which then will find all directly and network connected Drobo devices.

Power Consumption

The chart shows the actual power consumption measured at the PSU connection and while loaded with a maximum amount of drives. The maximum power draw will occur during boot times.
