6.1 Enabling or Disabling Dual Disk
Redundancy
Dual Disk Redundancy protects your Drobo 5D3 in the event of two simultaneous drive
failures. Although it provides additional protection, it requires more disk space. To learn
more about how much more disk space is required, see Determining Drive Space
Requirements.
Note:
Enabling dual disk redundancy will not erase your data.
To use Dual Disk Redundancy, you will need a minimum of three drives. The
option will not be available to you if you do not have a sufficient number of drives or
capacity. First, you may need to Add Capacity.

would like to enable or disable Dual Disk Redundancy.
2. Click the Drobo Settings option on the Navigation menu, and click General. The
General Settings page opens.
