postjack Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Hi everyone- Simple question before I cram this drive in my Drobo: can I put a drive in there that already has stuff on it, or should I only insert blank drives? I tried and tried to google this info up but no dice. Just want to make sure before I proceed. By my calculation there should be plenty of space left for protection after I insert the drive.

Nebby Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Not sure what model you have, but the manual for the Drobo FS states: Warning! Please note that when adding hard drives to your Drobo storage device, any pre-existing data on those drives will be erased. So I'm going to guess that you should only insert blank drives or drives with stuff that you don't mind getting blanked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
