The rear panel has a power switch and dual Ethernet ports. It can run standalone or as a rack-mountable 3U device in a standard 19' server rack. It's a large device, measuring 12.17'(W) x 5.46'(H) x 14.1'(L) and weighs 16 pounds without the drives. Removing the front panel reveals 8 drive bays.

The Pro FS has Drobo's minimalist NAS design: a glossy black box with big green LEDs for each drive running along the bottom of the chassis' front panel and smaller blue LEDs down the right-hand side. Since most NAS devices come with either USB or eSATA (and sometimes both), I can't understand why Drobo is limiting USB to its DAS models, especially for the price you pay for the Pro FS. For USB 2.0 and eSATA expandability (as well as Firewire800), users must purchase the DroboPro or Drobo S, both of which are direct-attached storage devices, not NASes. The Pro FS also does not have USB or eSATA ports.

However, compared to other NAS boxes in its class, it's lacking in a lot of features, such as IP camera support, an easy way to setup remote access, integration with Windows Active Directory or ACLs and a full roster of third-party apps to extend its functionality. There is no question that the Pro FS is a strong sentry for data. I pulled drives out while media files were streaming installed drives of varying capacities mixed 2.5' with 3.5' SATA drives-I did everything that could possibly damage my data or prevent the array from rebuilding, short of setting the drives on fire-and my data remained intact. It's expensive, yes, but the BeyondRAID technology works flawlessly–better than just about any other storage RAID array I have tested. Bundled with 8TB in drives, that price jumps to $2,699 and for 16TB $,3299, so this is not a cheap storage option for a small business. At a list price of just under $1000, the DS 1511+ is also half the cost of of the Pro FS, which lists for $1,999 without drives. If you're looking for a NAS that can multitask as an e-mail, print, or surveillance camera server, you'd be better off considering Editor's Choice winning Synology DS1511+ ($900, 4.5 stars), which can handle these tasks and more. If data protection, disaster recovery, and simple file sharing are all you need in a NAS, the DroboPro FS is a very good option for a business. The DroboPro FS NAS is great at one thing: protecting your data with Drobo's proprietary BeyondRAID technology. Best Hosted Endpoint Protection and Security Software.
