Drobo 5D3 5-Bay Thunderbolt 3 Enclosure Reviews

4.5 Rating 4 Reviews
Having had two very reliable Drobos in a video editing suite for the past 20 years I upgraded to the thunderbolt 3 model to house all my Avid MXF HD 1080p media (5tb of 8tb total capacity). Speed of access is amazing, no stutters and pauses, and I couldn’t be happier with performance, easy setup, and intelligence to do all the hard stuff for me.

Thank you so much for your kind words and thank you for shopping with us! We're very happy to have you as a customer. My name is Robert, I am the owner of Macfixit Australia and I was hoping that if you had a little more time and if it was not too much trouble perhaps you could also leave a note of your positive experience under the Product Reviews webpage for us as well. We find that unless we ask our customers, we very rarely have any positive notes left under the Product Reviews page and it certainly helps other potential customers in the decision making to determine if they should purchase from us. If you left your positive note I would very much appreciate it. Please find the link to the Product Reviews website under the link below: https://productreview.com.au/p/macfixit-australia.html Thank you for your time and we hope to see you in our store again soon.

I had been using my Drobo 5D for 7 years and it was starting to become ‘a bit irregular’, so I decided to replace it. The Drobo 5D3 upgrades the bay to USB C . The transition was painless; just turn the old one off, remove the hard drives, put them in the 5D3, turn on the 5D3, all data instantly available!! The new system is a lot faster with the TB3 interface.

Usual easy Drobo setup, with very reasonable file transfer speeds prior to adding the m SATA drive to the base for a speed boost. Now ripping 12-13 Gb per minute now so very happy. A real boost in productivity for me.
