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 5D3, allowing you to
leave it installed even if you transfer drives from the drive bays to another Drobo
device, for example.
To achieve better performance, we recommend to use high performance drives
in your device.
The Drobo 5D3 is not compatible with IDE, SCSI, PATA or SAS drives.
The Drobo 5D3 supports migrating entire disk packs from a Drobo 5C, Drobo
Gen3, Drobo 5D or Drobo S, 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.
Warning:
Any pre-existing data on the drives will be erased while formatting or resetting
your Drobo 5D3.
