5D3

Lightning Fast Storagefor Media Professionals, Content Creators, and Small BusinessesThe Drobo 5D3 is the 3rd generation 5 Bay direct-attached storage (DAS), reimagined for media professionals, content creators, and small businesses. Lightning fast Thunderbolt 3 technology delivers the speed, while Drobos fully automated BeyondRAID functionality provides the simplicity. Not only is the 5D3 fast, but its easy to use, expandable, flexible and protected. You can safely edit, store and view photos and videos in your 4K/5K workflow, as well as backup your personal and business data.Leave Your Limitations Behind Go BeyondRAIDBuilt on award-winning BeyondRAID technology, Drobo 5D3 simply protects your data against a single or dual disk drive failure.Drives can be added, hot-swapped and updated in real time for storage expansion with zero downtime. If youre running low on space, the lights on the front provide guidance. Just add a drive in an empty bay, or remove a smaller drive and replace it with a larger one. In addition, Smart Volumes are thinly provisioned volumes, that automatically utilize capacity as needed from a common pool of storage.Enhanced Backup for Time MachineTime Machine and Drobo: A Perfect PairingApples Time Machine was designed to make backing up your files simple and painless. Pairing Time Machine with Drobo improves your data protection by ensuring your data is safe in the event of hard drive failure.Control How Much Storage Time Machine UsesApples guidelines are to set the storage space for Time Machine at twice the size of the Macs hard drive that is to be protected. Time Machine users know that it will gradually use all available disk space without an easy way to stop this from happening. With Drobo you can easily control the maximum storage space available for Time Machine backups through Drobo Dashboard. When you install a Drobo, Drobo Dashboard prompts to see if you want to create a dedicated storage volume for Time Machines use, allowing you to set the size of this volume.Compact, Expandable DesignExpanding your storage capacity with a Drobo couldnt be easier. Theres no long, risky process to add capacity to a Drobo no need to go through the time consuming and complex administration of destroying your RAID sets and recreating with larger drives; and then finally restoring from your backup. When its time to add storage capacity to a Drobo, simply insert additional disk drives or replace the smallest disks with larger ones. The unique compact, carrier-less drive-bay design results in an attractive, efficient storage array that wont dominate your valuable desk space.If youre running low on space, the lights on the front of the Drobo 5D3 provide guidance. The innovative, user-friendly design allows you to add or hot-swap larger capacity drives, without tools, for storage expansion with zero downtime. Simply expand storage, while safely storing and backing up your personal data with ease of use and peace of mind.Capacity and PerformanceDrobo 5D3 includes a built-in Accelerator Bay, with an mSATA card holder (mSATA card not included). Our patented, Accelerator Cache technology keeps a copy of your most frequently accessed data to deliver blazing-fast speeds. The accelerator cache will dramatically speed up loading large photo libraries and other I/O intensive operations, smooth out your workflow and optimize your productivity.To keep capacity of your Drobo 5D3 at a maximum, the Drobo Accelerator Bay accepts an industry-standard mSATA SSD, leaving all five 3.5 drives bays available for high-capacity HDDs. For the fastest performance possible, you can also load up every drive bay with SSDs. Drobo 5D3 gives you the flexibility to choose!Connectivity Without CompromiseDrobo 5D3 is equipped with dual, Thunderbolt 3 ports for daisy chaining.
