Important Notes - Drobo 5N2 User Manual

Important Notes:

If an incompatible SSD is inserted into the Drobo device, the drive light will blink red,
indicating the need to replace that drive. Please refer to our web page on compatible drive
options for more information.
The mSATA SSD is not part of the disk pack of your Drobo 5N2, allowing you to leave it
installed even if you transfer drives from the drive bays to another Drobo device, for example.
When Hot Data Caching is enabled, an icon displays in Drobo Dashboard, the software
companion to your Drobo device.
The Drobo 5N2 is not compatible with IDE, SCSI, PATA or SAS drives.
The Drobo 5N2 supports migrating entire disk packs from a Drobo5N (16TB volume),
Drobo5N (64TB volume), and DroboFS (16TB volume), preserving its data. For more
information, and to ensure a safe and successful migration of the drives, carefully follow the
instructions in Migrating a Disk Pack from Another Drobo Device.
For EOL product (Drobo FS and old Drobo 5N's) in order to achieve 64TB volume size you
need to copy data to new drives in 5N2.
Warning:
Any pre-existing data on the drives will be erased when inserted into the Drobo 5N2.
