Drobo II Is Here, Now With FW800

Drobo

For all of you photographers out there who got all excited about the Drobo when they first heard about it only to find out it was USB 2.0, it looks like you can quit your whining…for now. Data Robotics, Inc announced the second generation of the Drobo today. The new Drobo now includes Firewire 800 and a “vastly improved” USB 2.0. Their tech specs claim up to 52MB/s reads & 34MB/s writes and 30MB/s reads & 24MB/s writes respectively. Some other new features are a faster processor along with a quieter and cooler operation.

Drobostore.com is selling the new FW800/USB 2.0 for $499 as well as the original USB 2.0 Drobo for $349. I’ve been using my Drobo since the start of this year and couldn’t be happier with it. I truly believe this is a must have piece of technology for photographers, especially those who can’t afford to lose client’s images!

About the Author

Glad you're here.

I'm from WA State USA and started studying photography in 97. I started work as a pro (using that word loosely because I sucked) using film at age 16. I learned fast but was not as easy to find training then. Sometimes I beat my head against the wall until I figured stuff out.

As digital dawned I went all in and got to study with masters like Ken Whitmire. In 09 I founded the Pro Photo Show podcast. I started promoting tone-focused editing. When Lightroom arrived, I started developing tools to make editing and workflow better.

20 years of study and photography around the country earned me a Master of Photography (M.Photog) from PPA. I got to see my workshops and tools featured in publications across the industry. Once I even won the prestigious HotOne award for my "EXposed" light and tone workshop.

Wanting something calmer, I moved to Mexico in 2017. It's a land of magical light. I'm here now exploring light and trying to master my weak areas. I make videos of that for my Youtube channel, sharing what I learn. I hope you'll stick around and be part of Light Hunters Tribe... Gavin
