Need a Drobo? I've Got a Deal for You (Valid 11/26 Only)

We use a lot of Drobo products in my office… and I use them at home too. They make some great storage units for keeping data safe.
We've kept in touch with Drobo providing feedback on features and performance (fortunately they're a good listener).

I also got them to offer up two great deals (valid on Saturday, November 26 only).
We edit most of the video in our offices off Drobo Pros or the Drobo B800i units. Our graphics department also uses the Drobo FS units to share files. I store my photo library on two Drobo S units at home.
