But what if you want to back up more then one computer? Or stream media throughout your home? Well that's when you need a NAS, in the case the Drobo 5N. It will let you stream that media as well as keep your information safe in a few different ways. But you will have to watch to find out.
This is a video that covers in a great deal of detail the Drobo 5N. I take you through then general specs of the 5N, as well as some of its basic operation. I also give you my opinions about the Drobo 5N after having used it on my home network for 5 months. As well as a brief look into when I first installed it on my network. This is a very long video review of the Drobo 5N but I cover every aspect that I could think of that I thought others might want to know about.
