Title: Using a Drobo 5D between mac and PC
Post by: Paul2660 on November 11, 2016, 07:01:59 am

Has anyone successfully installed a Drobo 5D, on a MAC so it's formatted HFS + then used a third party software to use the MAC formatted Drobo on a PC?

I have successfully used MacDrive to read external Hard drives formatted in HFS+, but have not tried this on a drobo yet. 

Thanks
Paul C

Well actually connected mine to a Mac mini server then you can connect all machines to it at the same time. The other bonus is that you get Time Machine to back it up each night.
