![]() ![]() I'll tell you this: my Drobos have withstood the test of time. ![]() I like the Synology, but I don't have as much experience with it as with the Drobos. A share mount takes a second or so, and the directory appears almost immediately. With the Drobo, there's always this little "is it working?" question we tend to think of while waiting for our files to show up. It can take 15-30 seconds (or more) for a directory to show up after a drive has been mounted. One of the frustrations we've become accustomed to dealing with when using our Drobos is the wait for a directory to load after mounting a drive. Granted, I have the model with 8GB of RAM, but still, it's very nice. ![]() Interestingly enough, both allow you to turn their devices into little mini servers, where you can run Apache web servers, and even serve a WordPress site.Įverything about the Synology's performance is crisp. It has its own cloud access program, but compared to the well-established public clouds, it's just a bare-bones offering.īoth Synology and Drobo offer their equivalent of an app store. It's very nice, and works very well.ĭrobo does not have access to these services. The gist of that was that Synology has both backup and sync to popular cloud storage, including Google, AWS, Amazon Cloud Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive. I discussed the Synology offerings in depth in a previous article. Since our shares on the Synology have a network recycle bin and our shares on the Drobo do not, we still need to double-check before deleting, because if we do delete a file on the Drobo, it's gone forever.īoth Synology and Drobo offer some level of remote access to files and cloud connectivity. The only thing we have to be careful about is not becoming complacent. ![]()
