My move to the Drobo 8D came after a number of LaCie drives had failed on me and caused a ton of headaches with our standard content production. Admittedly, I've never used something like the Drobo 8D before though I totally knew the benefits of them.
For years, LaCie drive had never failed me. But then three failed me within a period of half a year. The frustration finally made me move to a RAID. Lots of new photographers and content creators will probably not truly understand the need for one. Indeed, I was a photographer who said, "This would never happen to me. " In my defense, I've been a photographer who mostly worked off of a laptop for the majority of my career. Portable hard drives just always made more sense. Most of the stuff that I do goes online in the Phoblographer's Media Library. But there are times when I need to access other things. And the Drobo 8D has proven to be pretty great at keeping all my data secured and backed up when I'm home. And when I'm traveling, it's of course not going with me. . thephoblographer.com
