Drobo Mini + 2x 0J22413 DR-MINI-1A31/2TB データシート

Drobo Data Sheet | Drobo Mini

It’s a Drobo, so by definition it’s easy-to-use. 
Now it’s also the fastest portable storage array, 
with cutting-edge Thunderbolt and USB 3.0 
connectivity and innovative use of solid state 
drives (SSDs). 

Whether you’re working at your desktop, 
shooting and editing photos or videos onsite, 
or traveling to the next location, it’s the world’s 
first high-performance and protected portable 
storage array. So now you can take and access 
your valuable digital assets wherever you go. 

Drobo Mini has everything that’s in the high- 
capacity Drobo 5D in a package that is compact 
and portable. Made of a cutting-edge metallic 
carbon fiber with a soft-touch rubberized finish, 
Drobo Mini is small, rugged, and feels as cool 
as it looks. From the modern materials to the 
wraparound light indicators to the drive bay 
design, Mini is truly big storage in a small box. 

Weighing in at 3 pounds fully loaded with drives, 
you can now carry up to 4.5TB

1

 of usable and 

protected capacity in your travel bag. To make 
Drobo Mini as portable as possible, there’s an 
optional carrying case.

 2TB drives are available today. When larger drives become 

available, you can replace for greater capacity.

Built on award-winning BeyondRAID

™

 

technology with single- or dual-drive 
redundancy, Drobo Mini protects your data 
without any user interaction, even in the event 
of multiple drive failures. 

Drives can be added or hot-swapped on-the-fly 
for storage expansion with zero downtime. If 
you’re running low on space, the lights on the 

front tell you what to do. Just add a drive in an 
empty bay or remove a smaller drive and replace 
it with a larger one. 

Thunderbolt I/O technology provides 
performance that no personal storage has been 
able to achieve, especially one that’s portable. 
This allows you to move large amounts of data 
in a fraction of the time it used to take. 

Drobo Mini is equipped with dual Thunderbolt 
ports for daisy chaining. Connect up to six 
Thunderbolt devices and/or a non-Thunderbolt 
monitor at the end of the chain. This allows 
even the most portable laptop computers access 
to high-performance storage while retaining 
connectivity to other devices and an external 
monitor. 

Drobo is the only storage array that offers 
Thunderbolt and USB 3.0. The version of USB 
also offers high-performance connectivity and 
is backward compatible with computers running 
qualified versions of Mac OS X or Windows. 

Data-Aware Tiering technology, usually reserved 
for business-class storage solutions, is also 
available in this portable Drobo. It intelligently 
uses the high-performance flash in SSDs to 
accelerate performance of the storage array, 
allowing applications such as Adobe Premiere 
and Apple Aperture fast access to data. 

To keep capacity of the Drobo at a maximum, 
the Drobo Accelerator Bay accepts an industry 
standard mSATA SSD, leaving all four 2.5” drives 
bays available for high capacity HDDs. 

Drobo Mini takes 2.5” drives – that is what 
makes it portable. Four hot-swappable drive 
bays support drives of any capacity. No carri-
ers or screws are needed to insert drives into 
a Drobo and the Drobo Mini is no different. 
An innovative new design allows drives to 
click in and out like a ballpoint pen. 
Since 2.5” drives are primarily used in laptop 
computers, they’re designed to be portable. 
Because of this, you can pick up and move 
Drobo Mini around with confidence. 

Drobo doesn’t just protect you from a drive 
failure, but also from potential data loss after 
a power outage. Drobo Mini includes a battery 
that protects all data in memory, or cache, that 
is, data on its way to the drives. 

When power spontaneously goes away, the 
battery keeps the Drobo alive long enough for 
the data to be written to non- volatile storage. 
The battery recharges itself and is designed to 
last for the life of the product.
