Thanks, Mike. Synology is the one I was looking at. It's great to have
your advice!!
I have been having computer problems and had to have Dell talk me through
restoring my computer to factory settings and I'm reinstalling everything
so it will be a few days before I decide what to do about the Drobos.
I will certainly contact you if I need help!
Thanks!
Tina
