Drobo NAS

I haven’t seen any discussion on Drobo’s N5 NAS. Can it be used for the DVR?

Looks like it has an ARM processor, so unlikely to be able to transcode or do commercial detection quickly. But for basic recording and ATV playback, it should work.

An application created in the Drobo Apps package format can be installed by copying it to the Drobo Apps share. To do this, use Drobo Dashboard to map the Drobo Apps share on your host, then copy the file to the root directory of the Drobo Apps share.

Once the package is copied, you must reboot the Drobo to install it or issue /usr/bin/DroboApps.sh install via an SSH console. The Drobo will create a directory beneath the Drobo Apps share with the same base name as the package (the base name is the filename without the tgz extension), and the package will be installed in that directory. The package file itself will be deleted.
