DAS performance is uninspiring, with our real-world test copies of large video clips returning read and write speeds of 17.3MB/sec and 15MB/sec - on a par with most desktop NAS appliances. We then connected the appliance to the DroboShare unit, where it obtained an IP address from our router and became visible to all systems running the Dashboard.
Access controls are minimal, since all you can do is specify a workgroup and password protect all Drobo shares. As expected, the USB link to the DroboShare restricted performance, so even over gigabit ethernet this was no better than a local connection.
How the Drobo fairs will most certainly be down to how aggressively it's marketed and developed, but for now it offers nothing that would persuade us to replace the lab's Netgear ReadyNAS appliances and their vastly superior features.
