![]() ![]() Here you go…ĭoes this sound familiar to anyone? Well, you can see how this might become frustrating after it happens repeatedly. It was behind my computer, but not plugged in. Me: Nope, I don’t see it mounted on my computer, did you check your drawer of hard drives? I say this only half joking – As you see in the above photos this is no way to live! As you would expect, without fail, the following banter would transpire anywhere from three to five times daily:Īssistant: Hey, do you have Headshots Drive XX? My assistant and I used to have two “Medusas’ heads” of travel hard drives, all tangled and crisscrossed into USB hubs behind our work stations. So that’s about 40 hard drives that I had floating around my office. And on top of that, I have a back up mirrored archive for each of those 20 drives. I would say I probably have 20 all together. I have archives for all the different categories of work I do headshot archives, retouching archives, photo archives, and wedding archives. Problem 1: I think if anyone here were to peek into my office before and see what I used to do for image storage, they’d fall over in their chair. You connect to the Drobo device just as you would connect to another computer on your same internet network. You are able to access the image files on the device from any computer on your home internet network (or from any internet connected computer, anywhere in the world. The Drobo 5N (the N is for network) is a storage device that connects directly to the internet router in your home or office and stores all of your image files. In this article, you’ll see how the Drobo 5N will prove to be an amazing solution for three of my most frustrating workflow problems. So when I was asked to review the set-up process as a person who was completely unfamiliar with any of Drobo’s products previously in exchange for a Drobo 5N unit, I jumped at the opportunity. John Harrington once told me, there are two types of photographers in this world people who have had a drive fail and people that will. I am finally upgrading my storage “situation” thanks to the amazing people over at Drobo. Well… It’s a pretty exciting day here at SharkPixel and Washington DC Headshots. ![]()
