Where the Drobo excels is in the ease of replacing or adding drives. Without a doubt this is the most user-friendly NAS unit we've reviewed in dozens of articles from names like Synology, QNAP, Thecus, ASUSTOR and the like. Sure, it's aimed at the non-tec...

In our review of the Drobo 5C we found it to be an impressive storage device, now we have looked at the network attached storage (NAS) version, which is an upgraded version of Drobo's 5N.What we found under the hood of the 5N2 is the very same exceptional...
The Drobo 5N2 offers several upgraded features, and those features would certainly be appealing to entry-level users. That said, business users will probably find that the Drobo 5N2 is outclassed by other similar NAS devices from QNAP, Thecus and Synology...
