Thunderbolt™-to-PCIe Expansion Chassis
The ROBEN-3TM takes expansion computing to an exciting
new dimension. Featuring three (3) full-length, full-height
PCIe slots, the ROBEN-3TM offers you the unique ability to
embed an Apple Mac mini directly into the system chassis.
This incredible feature gives you the most dynamic 3-slot
Thunderbolt expansion capacity known to mankind.

You have a lot invested in your creative assets, so the
ROBEN-3TM allows you to keep your valuable plug-ins secure
with an optional front panel USB iLok. The rack-mountable
aluminum chassis was designed with a 520-watt power
supply, auxiliary power, and features Magma’s exclusive
quiet cooling technology. The ROBEN-3TM is precision
engineered as the ideal sidekick to the Apple Mac mini.

We understand that your projects require an exceptional,
high-performance workstation, so the ROBEN-3TM
was designed for ‘mission critical’ capabilities previously
reserved for our defense and aerospace customers.
Failure is not an option, so we integrated the best of
Magma’s advanced technologies and sourced the highest
quality components for this superlative chassis.
