Tina,

I use Synology and find them good. If you have 25TB on each Drobo, how about buying a Synology Disk Station with say 32TB installed but lots of empty slots? Transfer the data from one Drobo, then take the disks from that , reinitialise them in the new NAS and copy another Drobo, and so on. Synology have a "hybrid NAS" system that allows you to mix disks of different sizes and still get the most possible storage.

Synology also offer a cloud solution so you can duplicate the files from your local NAS in the cloud.

I'm happy to help off-list if you want.

Does anybody here use Drobos to store their photos??  I have 4 5C Drobos
with 100 TB of photo files.  Drobo went bankrupt last week.  Their software
for restoring files is proprietary and I'm having nightmares about sudden
failures.

I've been using Drobos for many years and have never had a drive fail but
there is always a first time!

If you have Drobos are you switching to something else?  What would that be?

TIA

Tina
