What does a Drobo do?
Drobo devices are primarily designed to allow installation and removal of hard disk drives without requiring manual data migration, for increasing storage capacity of the unit without downtime, and for data protection against drive failure.
Will Drobo work with Monterey?
So are we good to go and update our Macs to Monterey to use our Drobos with firmware (3.6. 1)? Yes! As long as you are on the latest firmware it should be good to go.

What can you do with old Drobo?
In most cases, migrating your “disk pack” (set of drives) from an older Drobo to a newer one is as simple as removing them from the older one, and placing them in the new one. Also note that in most cases migrating drives is a one-way operation.
How do I recover data from a dead Drobo?
Remove the drives from the box of your Drobo. Turn the Drobo appliance off and extract all the disks out of it. Mark them according to their order, which is determined by the bays they belong to – this will allow you to reassemble the device after the data recovery procedure.
Are Drobos any good?
Think of it as a large, external backup hard drive. If you have some computers and data that needs to be backed up, the Drobo S is a good candidate that you could leave running at night to do the job – that’s what it is good for.
