Their software interface for the Drobo DRO4D-D seemed a primitive compared to the other model I had. It uses the same window as the Windows 7 window with various tools and functions to choose from. The first tab called Data shows the health of each drive, shows you the space in each drive bay, and the entire system.
However, the next tab, the Tools tab, is where all the action happens. Or to say the least is where you actually customize your volumes and drive bays. You can choose from different commands: Blink Lights, Standby, Format, Reset, and Rename Drobo and Volumes. You can make your Drobo send alerts and update the system. Lastly, there is a DroboShare category that allows you to setup your drive bay configuration.
There is a Drobo disk pack also that allows you to see the free space left on the volumes you created. The advanced controls also help you to change certain configurations of the volumes as well.
