## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i use this with the Nvidia shield tv as storage for a plex server? Thank you**
A: There should be no reason why not. You may have to check with Nvidia if there are any restrictions on capacity allowed to be seen via USB. I'd also check the formatting ie FAT32/NTFS etc.

**Q: Anyone experienced issues with the drobo 5c not mounting on win 7? Just purchased, worked fine to start, then did then didn't, now nothing!?**
A: I use Win 10 and you may find that not everything that says it is compatible with win 7 actually is.  My drobo has worked Ok except that for some unknown reason it fails to detect one of the drives fitted on occasions.  You may find that this has happened to you as the drobo will then try transferring data to another drive - a process that can take up to 12 hours if you have 4T drives fitted. On the dashboard you can see the status of each drive and just above that is a tiny time bar that tells you if it is trying to do this.  The support people say let the drobo finish this process and then contact them if this is unsuccessful. So far it has been.  When contacting the support team you have to factor in the time difference as it can take days to get answers to simple problems. I also make a backup of all data stored on the drobo on an external drive every week or two to ensure that in the event of a catastrophic failure I have a fall back position - so far I have never had to use this but it gives me some reassurance.  I still think the drobo is a good device and wish you luck with yours.
As a final thought the drobo seems to prefer being turned off if you down power using the "shut down" in the tools menu rather than relying on the computer to "remove" it, and then repower using the rear button when you next use the Pc

**Q: How does it perform for direct photo editing in Lightroom ?**
A: Only use Drobo as back up drive for original files or finished images, NOT for work in progress.  Use a smaller and faster drive for Work in Progress

**Q: Can the drobo 5c charge a macbook through the usb c port?**
A: I dont have a Mac Book so not sure...from what I can see I would say no

    Two years in - perfect.
  

*by P***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 September 2019*

This is a review, two years in to ownership. Flawless. Perfect, no issues. Does what it says on the tin. I've run it continuously powered on for the vast majority of the time I have owned it (I have two 5C's FWIW) and have done multiple disk upgrades and file movements. I will be buying another at some point.PS if you're planning on buying on of these, check who the actual seller is. If it's HDEW (or some variant thereof) check what the warranty / return / repair policy is. HDEW are based in Hong Kong and the UK Warranty is their's NOT Drobo's...

    Might be good as a basic store, but only time will tell.
  

*by P***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 February 2017*

Being cheaper than most alternatives and being relatively simple to set up is a big plus. Transfer rates are okay, through USB 3, but nothing special. It's quiet and inoffensive, so easy to live with.However, I've had a few issues of it not restarting after the computer comes out of sleep, so had to reboot (nothing else would work) and one occasion it reported a bad drive issue that necessitated a rebuild of the data (took 2 days), although I think it was caused by a poor connection of the drive (maybe because the unit was new). Removing and re-seating seems to have cured it.Long term, I've yet to find out because the reliability of the whole system depends upon the box and I've had those hiccups, so I still have niggling doubts. If I was to offer advice to other buyers it would be to seat/re-seat each drive several times initially before powering up, just to ensure a good connection.

    Peace of Mind
  

*by J***K on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 June 2018*

Having suffered an external hard drive failure, fortunately I was backed up, but it still caused a lot of hassle. I decided to invest in a Drobo. It has performed perfectly and it is nice to know that if one of the drives in the Drobo fail, your work is still safe and you can carry on working and change the duff drive at leisure without any hassle!
