& Robust Capacity,
Featuring Two 5.25-inch Bays
Engineered to Magma’s ‘mission critical’ standards for
performance and reliability, ROBEN-3TX features three (3)
full-length, full-height PCIe slots with a robust, high speed
backplane. The rack-mountable aluminum chassis was
designed for integrated removable storage expansion,
providing flexibility with two customer configurable 5.25”
expansion bays, a 520-watt fanless power supply,
auxiliary power, and features Magma’s exclusive quiet
cooling technology. From initial concept, the ROBEN-
3TX Thunderbolt configuration has been precision
engineered to be the “perfect sidekick” for the new
Apple Mac Pro and other Apple and PC devices.

Fuel your creative genius by adding a host of specialty PCIe
cards to any Thunderbolt-equipped computer to achieve
expanded performance in every working environment.
ROBEN-3TX’s patented performance optimizing backplane
seamlessly integrates PCIe expansion, storage, and
Thunderbolt connectivity and ensures that all devices
installed in the system operate with the maximum
possible speed. This design gives audio engineers, video
producers, game developers, and graphic designers
the same level of data fidelity that had previously been
reserved for defense and aerospace industry projects.
