Can I expand the storage capacity of my Drobo device?

Yes, it is possible to expand the storage capacity of a Drobo device, and this is one of the key features that makes Drobo popular among users. Drobo utilizes a technology called BeyondRAID, which allows users to add additional hard drives or replace existing ones with larger capacity drives without data loss. You can simply insert a new drive into an available drive bay, and Drobo will automatically recognize it and begin integrating it into your existing storage pool. If your Drobo has all its bays occupied and you desire more storage, you can also replace smaller drives with larger ones. By doing so, Drobo will again manage the data seamlessly in the background, ensuring that your data remains protected during the upgrade process. It is important to consider the specifications of your specific Drobo model as the maximum storage capacity can vary. For the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding your specific model's capabilities and limits, it may be beneficial to refer to the documentation on the official Drobo website. There, you can find detailed guidance on upgrading storage efficiently.
