    Drobo 5N2 5 Bay NAS Reviewed

    For home data storage over the years, I have used WHS 2011, Synology, QNAP and now Drobo 5N. As you have stated the company has gone through management changes and is a very different company than it was a few years ago. I have been impressed with the ease of use and the quality of the apps...

    Need help on poor wireless performance
