DroboPro offers more drives, capacity and versatility than the original storage device, says Jillian Mansolf, senior vice president of Data Robotics. The new eight-drive system connects to a Mac or a PC via USB 2.0, FireWire 800 and now iSCSI, and includes business-class features such as dual-disk redundancy, “smart” expanding volumes, and new triple interface versatility, Mansolf says
