Adding New Capacity to Drobo
To add or expand storage capacity, simply insert a hard drive into an empty data bay, or upsize a smaller capacity hard
drive with a larger capacity one. You may remove a hard drive at any time as long as the data bay indicators are not
blinking green and yellow.
If you have a data bay indicator showing a yellow or red status, Drobo is informing you to insert a hard drive or upsize a
smaller capacity hard drive with a larger capacity one into the data bay that is lit.
Tip: For assistance with choosing which drive size is needed to reach a specific capacity, run Drobolator, an online Drobo
simulator that lets you drag and drop drives into a virtual Drobo to determine your protected capacity with a specific mix of
drives.
