Drobo Mini - Installing mSATA SSD

Drobo Mini Getting Started Guide 15
Installing an mSATA SSD
You can install an mSATA SSD into your Drobo Mini. Doing so provides accelerated performance
when reading data from your Drobo Mini. For more information on drive requirements, see
Selecting Drives.
It is best to install the mSATA SSD before inserting drives into the Drobo Mini's drive bays.
Important Notes:
-
The mSATA SSD is not part of your Drobo device's disk pack, so you can add or remove it at
any time.
- Your Drobo device must be powered off and unplugged before installation.
-
It is important to ground yourself before installing the mSATA SSD in order to discharge
static electricity. To do so, touch a grounded metal object just before installation.
Warning! If there is any pre-existing data on the mSATA SSD it will be erased. If you wish to
keep the data, copy it to another drive or medium before using with your Drobo device.
