If you’re looking for a traditional RAID enclosure, the Drobo Mini probably isn’t for you. If you’re looking for a fast multi-drive enclosure, the Drobo Mini reallyisn’t for you. The Drobo Mini is geared toward people who don’t know, and don’t want to know anything about RAID, who might have a handful of drives they’d like to put to use.

With a Drobo Mini you don’t have to use identical drives, or even drives with the same capacity or speed. You can throw a 80GB drive and a 500GB drive in a Drobo and it’ll give you as much protected storage capacity as it can without you having to do anything. That said, the Drobo doesn’t always act as you might expect, and the extreme ease of use comes at the cost of performance.

Before you can use your Drobo Mini you have to install the Drobo Dashboard software and put some drives in the Mini. Drobo Dashboard is easy to find and install; other than being a little slow to find our Drobo I didn’t have any major problems with it. The dashboard can warn you when you’re running low on space and can email you alerts, as well as format and restore your Drobo.

The magnetic front panel is super easy to remove (almost too easy at times), it just sort of comes off. Behind the panel are four slots for 2.5-inch drives; all you have to do is push the drive in till you hear a click. It feels like you’re inserting gigantic SD cards. You can start with just two drives, but I put four in right away.

Once your drives are installed and the front cover is back on, plug in the power cord. The power cord has a locking mechanism you can use by twisting the plug in the back of the Drobo—this way the power cord won’t slip out of your Drobo accidentally.

When you connect your drive to your Mac or PC with Thunderbolt or USB 3 and follow the prompts to format it, don’t be surprised that it shows up as a 17.5TB volume—Drobo is just making sure that when you add capacity, it won’t have to recreate the volume visible to the OS.
Using the Drobo

The most compelling feature of Drobo Mini is its ability to take drives of varying capacities and render a large chunk of protected storage space back to the user. In a traditional RAID setup, your storage space is limited to the size of the smallest drive. Mixing drives of varying capacities limits the usable space on each to the size of the smallest, and you lose the extra capacity. So with three 1TB drives and one 500GB in a traditional RAID, you can only use 500GB on each drive.

Of course, there are still some limits to the usable space you get when mixing drive capacities in a Drobo. For example: I had four 480GB drives, and the resulting 1.33TB of usable protected space was running out. I rustled up another drive from somewhere in the lab and swapped one of the 480GB drives with a 960GB drive. Back at the Drobo Dashboard it was still telling me I was low on usable space, and instructed me to replace yet another drive. Oh yeah, and I didn’t get any more usable space.

It’s not a glitch or an error—Drobo just can’t protect that space yet. Providing redundancy for your data is Drobo’s whole deal, so the Drobo Mini isn’t going to let you use space that can’t be protected by the other drives currently in the enclosure. Drobo puts that extra capacity aside until you swap another one of your drives for one with a higher capacity. This leads to some strange happenings: when all your drives have identical capacities, you actually have to swap two of them to get any increase in usable space.

Drobo has capacity calculator online that helps you get a feeling of the storage space you’ll have available with different capacity drives. So be very, very sure to check the capacity calculator before considering a Drobo, and before buying any new drives that might go into your Drobo.
Performance

Don’t expect blazing fast speeds from your Drobo Mini, even with SSDs. The way it manages your data behind the scenes makes it incredibly easy to use, but does end up cutting into performance.

Writing to the drive, I saw speeds up to 242MB/s when dealing with large files, and up to 171MB/s when dealing with a collection of files and folders. Reading from the drive, I saw speeds up to 346MB/s when dealing with large files, and up to 236MB/s when dealing with a collection of files and folders. Remember, that’s with four 480GB SATA III SSDs.

I also tested the drive with four 1TB 7200-rpm 2.5-inch drives, which gave me 2.67TB of usable space. Writing to the drive topped at 197MB/s with a single file, and 90MB/s writing a group of files and folders. Reading a single large file maxed at 316MB/s, but reading a group of files and folders was a lot slower, topping out at 66MB/s.

To help put this in perspective, I took one of the drives out of the Drobo Mini, put it in a Seagate Thunderbolt Adapter, and ran the same tests on the drive by itself. Alone, the SanDisk X300s posted write speeds of 343MB/s and read speeds of 384MB/s in our in-house tests. This isn’t comparing apples to apples, since there’s no data protection on the single drive.

Looking at those numbers it almost seems ridiculous to use SSDs in a Drobo Mini. You’re simply spending more money than you get back in terms of speed. If you’re looking to invest in a Drobo Mini, stick with rotational drives unless money isn’t a factor to you—or you just happen to have a bunch of 2.5-inch SSDs lying around usused for some reason.

The Drobo Mini is marketed as portable, and even comes with a carrying case that fits the drive, power supply, and cables. However you still have to tote around the bulky case—it weighed 4.24 pounds with SSDs and 4.69 pounds with HDDs) and find an outlet before you can use the Drobo Mini in the field.
Bottom line

The Drobo Mini isn’t meant to compete directly with traditional RAID options. The drive is intended for people who need protected storage rather than fast speeds, and don’t want to learn about RAID. If you’re using some old drives you have lying around to create some protected storage for a technophobic relative, it can be a compelling choice. If you want something customizable or with blazing fast speeds, you might want to read an article on RAID.

Alexa and Voice Search Review

Any openings in the Amazon Fire Stick jailbroken with Kodi are made up for by the potent voice assistant and search functions. By holding the mike button down on the remote, you can search for movies, shows, and apps by simply talking into it (you can not use it hands-free my saying "Alexa," like you can with Amazon Echo goods). As it's connected to your Amazon Fire Stick unlocked and is not simply a speaker such as the Amazon Echo, the Amazon Fire Stick jailbroken can provide you visual data in answer to your Alexa asks, like the Amazon Echo Show (although without the touch screen controls).

Alexa can search based on show and movie titles, actor and director names, and genres and topics (though the vaguer your requests are, the less reliable the results will probably be). The voice hunt feature crosses across 90 distinct programs and services including Netflix and Hulu, and the Amazon Fire Stick with Kodi keeps tabs on any subscriptions you might have and also front-loads search results to emphasize content on these services. Search results nevertheless lean toward Amazon's own on-demand and instant video libraries when they are available, but it's a handy and thorough method to search for whatever you may want to watch.

Besides voice hunt, you can acquire useful information and even have the Amazon Fire Stick Kodi perform certain tasks with your voice thanks to Amazon Alexa integration (the exact same voice helper used in the Amazon Echo, which really adds lots of conveniences the voice search performance on Roku devices does not offer. It is possible to check the weather, find out sports scores, and bring up Wikipedia info, and also add items to your shopping list. You might also add skills to Alexa for additional features, such as ordering a pizza through Dominoes. Third-party skills vary tremendously in functionality and usefulness, but they really add to what you could do with the Amazon Fire Stick jailbroken for sale. See Amazon's highest-rated Alexa abilities in every class for some ideas.

Alexa also enables you to command smart home devices with your voice. A huge variety of connected lighting, locks, thermostats, and other home automation equipment works with Alexa. Holding a button down and talking into a distant is not quite as easy as the hands-free voice activation of the Echo devices, but it's still a useful method to bring down the lights when watching a picture, or correcting the temperature of the house without getting up.

Voice recognition is exceptional. Despite my voice sounding hoarse from a cold, the Amazon Fire Stick for sale understood all of my requests. It attracted up search results for Agents of Amazon Fire Stick free channels, Gundam, and Voltron with no matter gave me a weather forecast for the coming week and informed me when the forthcoming presidential debate would be. It's impressively accurate and responsive to get a $40 streaming device.

Performance is aided in part by a quad-core processor that significantly speeds things up over the previous version. Navigating menus is not quite as fast as it is with the 4K-capable Amazon Fire Stick hack, along with the rod can only output to 1080p video, however, it's an appreciable update (with a much more reasonable price compared to Amazon Fire Stick fully loaded). I had no difficulty switching between different programs and quickly loading movies and shows.

Like most of the media streamers, particularly ones that just use Wi-Fi, video quality depends on the rate and signal strength of your system.

Metal Roofing Contractor Selection

GOAL ZERO SWITCH 10 MULTI-TOOL KIT

I won't take something on my kayak or pack it for a camping trip unless it serves multiple purposes. For a long time, my solar panel kit was the only exception to that rule, because what else can you do with solar chargers than charge things, right? Not anymore. GOAL ZERO SWITCH 10 MULTI-TOOL KIT  opens the multi-use doorway and gives you both power and function.

Once the Switch 10 arrived, I stuck it in my truck and it was amazing how often I used it, even often the water. Nearly everyday I'd charge things with the Switch 10, either for a quick recharge of my phone in the afternoon, or a between-locations charge of my action cameras. The solar-capable power source isn't the only reason why the Switch 10 is so cool though, it's way more than that.

The entire kit includes a solar panel for endless charging off the sun, a lightweight fan attachment, usb charging cables and best of all, a crazy useful flashlight attachment. All of that and it's still small enough to fit into a PFD pocket (sans panel, which can hang on the back of your seat). Fish all day and store enough power to charge up your device at night, either on your way home or back at camp.

The flashlight attachment is so handy, I can't imagine life without it anymore. There are two settings to the light's beam, capable of putting out 110 Lumens. The wide angle setting let me light up the trail and see what I was about to step on, while the tighter beam let me look deeper into the night, piercing the darkness. There is also a high power mode for maximum light, or a low power mode to extend the battery life.

The fan attachment is going to be great for those hot days or long portages between fishing spots. It's easy to use and runs quietly, instead of buzzing in your face. This is a powerul little fan that you'll be relieved to have in your pocket or PFD for fast heat relief.

Marketing Bites: The Business Card

One might think that in this technologically obsessed world in which we live that the Business Card is now defunct.

One might even assume that people aren’t interested in collecting business cards at all. They’ll just bump phones with you and get your contacts that way. Alternatively they might connect with you on LinkedIn before you even meet and collect your details that way.

It’s Me, Business Card selected as one of the Best Business Card Designs from Paste Magazine
Best Business Card Designs from Paste Magazine

In her article titled ‘Business Cards are Dead and Here’s Why‘ J Maureen Henderson discusses how the working world has changed. She states that

‘Business cards don’t reflect the increasingly transient nature of employment and the iterative nature of our career identities. Tenure at a given job is decreasing, especially for Millennials, who have already earned a rep as notorious job hoppers. The card someone hands you today could lead to a disconnected phone line or a dead email address tomorrow.

Have business cards from startups in your rolodex that are more than six months old? If that company is still in business (and that’s a big if), it’s likely pivoted three times and changed its name at least twice.’

Design smarts, relationship smarts: Same/same

IDEO is a pretty great place to work if you like a bit of variety in your day. Over the past ten years, I’ve been lucky enough to tackle challenges in just about every industry under the sun — health care, hospitality, food and beverage, retail, government, wellness, technology, media, apparel…the list goes on.

You’d think design solutions across these categories would be radically different. But the funny thing is, they’re not.

Sure, the products or services we design are different for each industry. Hotel-y stuff for hotels, retail-y stuff for retail. But the design principles behind the solutions are often shockingly similar.

Turns out, one of the most important things we offer our clients is a crash course in interpersonal relationships. Because succeeding in business is a lot like succeeding in life: People tend to like you more when you’re kind and thoughtful.
