JK,

On getting Drobo to work on network -- Plug it into your network and install Drobo Dashbord on each computer you want to use. You should see all the Shares on the Net. Put a check mark in each Share you want to use. Go to Start/Computer -- The share should be there.

Ralph

Thanks Ralph.
I'll be trying that in the next day of so when I start my copy over from one of my RAID units to the Drobo. I prefer to be able to do it over the network on a machine other than my main one.

At present I cant get the DroboShare to be seen by the Drobo Dashboard.

Part of it appears to be associated with the use of green Seagate drives. Green drives do all sorts of tricks to use less power which makes them slow and relatively unresponsive. It's a simple fix; don't use green drives. You'll use a bit more electricity but things will run faster and more reliable.

Yes indeed I already found this with one of the new 1TB drives I got as this was a Green drive. I had to copy all the content of one of my simple in external USB box drives off so I could get to use a standard Seagate Barracuda 1TB drive in the Drobo unit.

The Drobo continues to misbehave with not seeing drives in all slots.
