Released April, 2010
The Pros:400% speed improvement performance over the Drobo S due to dual core CPU, additional RAM. 5 drive bays for support up to 10TB. First Drobo to be a true NAS - includes Gigabit Ethernet for network connectivity without the need for an online PC host.
The Cons:High price.
The Data Robotics Drobo FS is a full-fledged networked-storage device released in April 2010 as a mass upgrade from the DroboShare. The FS sports the same chassis, but it adds along a dual-core CPU, more RAM, Gigabit Ethernet, and a plethora of minor tweaks, the result of which is a 400% increase in performance speed.

Included are five HDD bays that support any SATA I/II drive, regardless of manufacturer, capacity, spindle speed, and/or cache. Plus the FS supports DroboApps community-created, community-supported applications that can, for one, turn the FS into an iTunes, CTorrent, BiTorrent, or UPnP/DLNA server, to name a few. Additional features include SMB/AFP support; network backups of both Macs and PCs (+Time Machine stamp via DroboApps); and file transfers up to 40MB/sec.
