Drobo uses proprietary RAID. I'll contact them and see if they can recover singe images. Thanks for taking the time.

RAID 1 is mirroring - RAID 0 is striping for speed. The rotating parity of RAID 5 (or 6) is designed to protect against missing data from a drive failure, it’s not designed to repair a corrupted file.
Drobo uses a proprietary RAID approach.

Unfortunately, yes. Also, the corruption rarely occurs on successive images.

Unfortunately the work flow I've followed had me taking the CF or SD cards out of the camera, using a card reader and running through the Lightroom import process to store two copies of each image on different partitions on the Drobo, all of which I uploaded to the Cloud and then I erased the cards in the camera so I don't have original images on the cards any more. Every import displayed properly as it was coming in and then began to intermittently and randomly distort as I went through the sorting process in Lightroom. That's why I thought it was a Lightroom problem. It would sometimes occur right before my eyes in Grid view apparently while Lightroom was making Smart Previews.

I haven't found any other types of corrupted files on the Drobo.
Once corrupted they remain corrupted no matter where or how I copy them.
I haven't tried a new cable. That's a good suggestion.
I hadn't tried Drobo support because I thought it was a Lightroom problem, but the same thing happens to the second copy imports stored on another partition in the Drobo, so I will do that. The Adobe folks insist they are totally non-destructive so Lightroom shouldn't be the culprit on import only. Next time I import I'll try saving a third set not using Lightroom. Thanks for taking the time.

I'm a Canon shooter and a Mac user. I store my photo files and related Lightroom Classic information on a Drobo attached to a 2020 iMac 27" tuning the latest OS. Randomly and intermittently after import raw files become corrupted. Screenshots of examples are attached. I can't find software that will repair them. The closest I've come is Stellar Photo recovery which gives me 20kb jpgs which are basically useless. I admire the accumulated wisdom on this site and I'm hoping someone can help me understand and perhaps correct this problem. Thanks for taking a look.
