Will this work with 5N Drobo? null

Actually this drive will NOT work in the Drobo. After purchasing two of them and spending hours attempting to get them to mount, Drobo support came back and said no they will not work. I had to go to Seagate Ironwolf PRO. IT MUST BE THE "PRO". So I returned both Baracudas and bought 2 Seagate Ironwolf Pro's. They plugged in, mounted first time and I am off and running. I thanked Drobo support and then complained about Drobo marketing. So bottom line is, you cannot use just any SATA drive. Get the "recomended & tested list" from Drobo support.

According to the DROBO website, yes.

According the Drobo website you can use a desktop SATA drive which this is.
