Hi, my old Drobo 5N died on me recently.
I mainly have used it as a time-machine backup server, and some old DVD-rips that I really don't need, but there are also some old stuff archived there that we really, really do want to recover.
So, I've started looking (at the local market here in Norway) for a used Drobo, since the company went bankrupt a couple of years ago, and the only alternative that's showed up is a Drobo FS, which (as far as I understand is the version before the 5N).
Does anyone know if the FS and 5N are interchangeable? (Meaning I can just pull the 5 disks from the 5N and put them into the FS?)
And does the FS work with Macos Sequoia?
Once I've gotten the data out, I'll change to an alternativ NAS, and this time I'll get one that uses regular RAID, and not a proprietary version...
