Talk about maintaining a pace. Nearly a year to the day after the introduction of the
original Drobo S comes this: the Drobo S. Er, the
second generation Drobo S. As you could probably surmise from the title above, the only notable difference in Data Robotics' newest storage robot is the addition of USB 3.0, but the triple interface ensures that eSATA and FireWire 800 users are also taken care of. Of course, USB 2.0 backwards compatibility is inbuilt, and while no theoretical speed figures are given, we're sure it's far quicker than the (now) prior version. It'll be sold starting today directly from the company, but beginning on November 18th, it'll also be featured on HP Small Business Direct. The (empty) base model will go for $799, while $1,299 buys you a five pack of 1TB HDDs, $1,549 gets you five 1.5TB HDDs and $1,799 lands you with five 2TB HDDs. In related news,
Drobo Sync is now shipping in order to provide offsite backup to DroboPro FS units, and Billy Corgan
still enjoys playing with Bluetooth speaker balls while on vacation. Crazy, right?
