Designed to facilitate optimised, protected creative workflows. Drobo has launched a new product into its Direct Attached Storage (DAS) portfolio. The new 5-bay Drobo 5D3 storage solution uses Thunderbolt 3 connectivity and offers a 2X performance boost beyond what the award winning and popular Drobo 5D can muster. Thanks to Thunderbolt 3, the Drobo 5D3 can offer much more than storage related functionality, for example it can also work as a dock providing further Thunderbolt / USB ports, and connect up to 2x 4K monitors. Up to six Thunderbolt 3 devices can be daisy chained and there will still be enough power to (slow) charge a laptop.
