How often should I check the health of my Drobo drives?

Regularly checking the health of your Drobo drives is essential for ensuring the reliability and longevity of your data storage. It is generally recommended to monitor the status of your drives at least once a month. However, if you are using your Drobo for critical data storage or if you notice any warning lights or alerts on the device, you should check the health more frequently, ideally on a weekly basis. Drobo provides built-in tools and indicators that allow users to easily check the health of their drives. This includes monitoring drive status, available space, and alerts related to potential issues. Additionally, it is advisable to keep an eye on firmware updates and the overall performance of the device. Maintaining regular backups of your data is also essential, as it adds an extra layer of security regardless of the drive health status. For specific recommendations and resources, it is beneficial to refer to the documentation available on the Drobo website.
