I’ve been debating how to upgrade my Win 10 Plex machine, which also has backups of my photos, software, etc. it’s about 3 TB. I use an external HDD to backup for offsite storage, as well as using Backblaze for cloud backup ($5/mo)
It looks like a Drobo 5C will fit my needs, since it can also be backed up via Backblaze without having to resort to B2, since that would increase my monthly cloud backup costs 3x. That’s also the reason I’m not looking at a NAS/Unraid setup right now.
Question is, what is the consensus on Drobo? I’ve heard some people love them, but also heard about support horror stories. Not too worried about data loss since I already have multiple ways of backing up my data, but need some opinions before pulling the trigger.
Thanks!
