You can safely store & edit photos & videos as well as store & back up personal data Data Protection & expandability Made Simple
- Built on award-winning Beyond RAID technology with single- or dual-drive redundancy, Drobo 5D protects your data without any user interaction, even in the event of multiple drive failures. Drives can be added or hot-swapped on-the-fly for storage expansion with zero downtime. If you are running low on space, the lights on the front tell you what to do. Just add a drive in an empty bay or remove a smaller drive & replace it with a larger one Power of Thunderbolt & Flexibility of USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0
- Thunderbolt I/O technology provides performance that’s up to 5x faster than the previous-generation Drobo’s. This means that you can move large amounts of data in a fraction of the time it used to take The Drobo 5D is equipped with dual Thunderbolt ports for daisy chaining. Connect up to six Thunderbolt devices and/or a non-Thunderbolt monitor at the end of the chain. With six Drobo 5D arrays in a chain, you can have up to 96 TB of usable capacity, &, the bi-directional 10 Gbps performance of Thunderbolt allows all devices in the chain to achieve maximum throughput Drobo is the only storage array that offers Thunderbolt & USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0. This latest generation of USB (Universal Serial Bus) also offers high-performance connectivity & is backward compatibility with any computer running compatible versions of Mac OS X or Windows. Note
- Thunderbolt is currently only supported on Mac OS X Capacity & Performance
- Data-Aware Tiering technology, usually reserved for business-class storage solutions, is also available in this portable Drobo. It intelligently uses the high-performance flash in SSDs to accelerate performance of the storage array, allowing applications such as Adobe Premiere & Apple Aperture fast access to data. To keep capacity of the Drobo at a maximum, the Drobo Accelerator Bay accepts an industry-standard m SATA SSD, leaving all five 3.5inch drives bays available for high-capacity HDDs. If getting the fastest performance possible is your thing, you can also load up every drive bay with SSDs. Drobo gives you the flexibility to choose Power Protecting Your Critical Data
- The Drobo 5D does not just protect you from a drive failure, but also from potential data loss after a power outage. Often found only in arrays that cost tens of thousands of dollars, Drobo 5D

Includes:: a battery that protects all data in memory, or cache, that is, data on its way to the drives When power spontaneously goes away, the battery keeps the Drobo alive long enough for the data to be written to non-volatile storage, ensuring your important information is safe. This battery recharges itself & is designed to last for the life of the product Designed for you
- A Drobo has always been space efficient & the Drobo 5D is no exception. It was designed from the ground up to provide very high capacity without taking up a lot of your valuable desk space. It is compact mostly because of the Drobo unique carrierless drive-bay design, allowing drives to be installed very close to each other The result is an attractive storage array that is up to 34% smaller than the leading competition. Drobo 5D is also significantly quieter than previous-generations, due to its tuned, large, variable-speed cooling fan. You can even configure Drobo to spin down drives when they are not in use to further reduce noise & save energy Specifications Connectivity 2 x Thunderbolt ports; second port for daisy chaining Thunderbolt devices (Mac OS X only) 1 x USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 port USB (Universal Serial Bus) cable included Capacity Up to five (5) 3.5inch SATA II / III hard disk drives or solid state drives (sold separately) & one (1) m SATA solid state drive Drives of any manufacturer, capacity, spindle speed, and/or cache can be used.
