E-mail Print PDF

Drobo announces a first storage array equipped with a USB-C port-- the Drobo 5C, a 5-bay self-managing storage solution offering all the features of the original Drobo hardware.

Drobo 5CBuilt on BeyondRAID technology, the Drobo 5C handles a variety of different size HDDs and brand, eliminating the limitations of traditional RAID systems. Drives are easily swappable, with no need for file shuffling or configuration, and installation requires no carriers or screws. A "traffic light interface" promises initial setup takes less than 10 minutes.

Meanwhile the USB-C interface is compatible with both USB 3.0 and 2.0, and offers average performance of 250MB/sec.

“Buying a storage solution can be intimidating,” the company says. “The Drobo team is laser focused on the customer experience and our users want a solution that is easy to use and manage. The Drobo 5C delivers on our commitment of simplicity coupled with a cost-effective price point and increased storage capacity.”

The Drobo 5-C replaces the original Drobo 4-Bay, and is available as either an empty unit or a package with four 6TB HDDs.
