In order to protect your data from drive failure, your Drobo 5C requires more drive

space, or capacity, than what you will use for your data, sometimes as much as double or

You may need to calculate how much capacity you need for your Drobo device in order

to ensure your data is protected. You may also be ready to add or remove capacity.
