Dusted off the old Drobo, which hasn’t been plugged in for a year. A little surprised it still seems to work. Don’t feel great about investing in a dead product, but might get another drive to put in it anyway.

@manton SOO SLOW

@manton they were great! Bummed that the concept didn’t work. I moved onto synology and I’m happy. But I’d it still works, use it!

Manton Reece

@Eggfreckles Yeah, speed was never a huge issue because I just used it to archive stuff, but definitely way slower than… well, almost anything.

Jon Prettyman

read this as “dobro” not Drobo and couldn’t figure out your suprise!

jden redden :verified_mustard:

@manton can you install your own OS on it?

Manton Reece

@jden No way to install an alternative OS that I’m aware of. I think I’m just stuck with it until I decide to final recycle the old hardware.
