We had an amazing response to our Drobo Video Contest, and as it turns out there are some very creative folks looking to store their data on Drobos! So, grab yourself some popcorn and head over to our Flickr group to screen all of the entries yourself. Congradulations to everyone who entered the contest, thank you all for participating.
We’ve whittled the winners down, but couldn’t decide between four VERY creative entries. So after some thought, we decided to change the rules a bit – instead of awarding TWO Drobo’s, we’re going to award FOUR!
So, without further delay, here are the winners of our very first Drobo Video Contest!
BEST PICTURE
Aphex (Popcorn Island)
An extremely creative take on what happens when you have a ton of movies stored on “other” drives, and they fail. The movies escape and terrorize your home! Don’t let this happen to you.
BEST ORIGINAL MUSICAL
Lefty Burns with “Drobo Rap”
An outstanding and foot-stompin’ explanation of what happens when you run out of space. We also dig Leftys ‘fro.
BEST ORIGINAL STORY
“Drobo on the Case”
Now this one had us ROFL. The whole video is very well done, but arguably the best line was “I’m gonna need some back up”. An instant classic. Well done.
BEST DOCUMENTARY
“Why we Love Drobo”
David’s video made US want to run out and buy a Drobo. Very well done, professional, and polished. Great work!

Everyone did a great job in putting these videos together. And we had a great time reviewing them, but a hard time deciding who the winners should be. Based on the outstanding success of this contest, keep your eye on our Twitter feed for announcements of more contests!
Congrats you guys!!
Enjoy the sense of security your going to have with your new Drobo’s!!!
Wow, thanks for the drobo! I can say that Andrew (drobo from #3) and I (chief from #3 are super excited to finally have something come from our corny videos we make together. Thanks to Data Robotics, Flickr, and Andrew’s sister Jenna, for wearing the stache’ proudly and helping us win! We will treasure our drobo!
Congrats to the winners! It speaks highly of the quality of the various entries that we decided to give prizes to four winners instead of the two we promised. I was simply amazed at the quality of the videos and really enjoyed watching them. I preferred these to what was on TV last night!
Sweet! Thanks for choosing me guys! As “polished” as mine was, I don’t think I can hold a candle to the others in terms of entertainment value.
The other three are AWESOME!
Are we going to be able to see all of the submissions? Or just the winners?
