Drobo Pro to RNDU6000
Hi, Just accquired a Drobo Pro DRPR1-A which is a DAS, somehow want to connect it to my ReadyNAS Ultra 6 and manage it through ReadyNAS web interface. Any suggestions and exprience with the above we...
Thanks Sandshark for the reply, here's my thinking and correct me if Im wrong, this Drobo pro I have is a DAS unit so when I connect it to my PC it comes up as a regular USB mass storage drive so in theory my ReadyNAS Ultra should also see it as that shouldnt it? and as far as monitoring the thing, well it has indicator lights on each drive as all capacity lights on the side so I think Im good there.
I was just wondering instead of using USB is it possible to connect both using a ethernet cable where the drobo will list in the iscsi tab on ReadyNAS web interface?

Connecting the Drobo via USB to the NAS might work, but you'd be limited to USB 2.0 speeds.
I don't see how it would possibly work over ethernet as you are envisioning. But I don't have a Drobo, and am not understanding what iSCSI has to do with it.
