what is going on guys Jonathan it with TechnoBuffalo with an unboxing of the drobo mini which is a high speed thunderbolt and USB 3.1 closure we can toss up to 4 2.5 inch drives either the traditional moving parts mechanical hard drives or the much faster solid-state drives for the utmost and extreme performance now on top of those 4 2.5 inch drives there's also an msata slot towards the bottom so in theory you could pack in the storage maybe get like 4 750 gig 7200 RPM hard drives tosin and msata SSD that's going to boost the overall performance while giving you the cheaper storage options of a hard disk drive so as we continue on with the unboxing we have the drobo mini text up top the unit itself and I want to be surprised if it is actually much bigger than this right here because it is designed for portability so if you're looking for a professional portable solution this should hopefully fit the bill we're going to flip it on its backside not going to need a knife just got a little bit of tape to get through it kind of gives you a rundown of the compatibility that's both mac and windows compatible also a rundown of the box contents but i'm going to show you guys that so i'm not going to be redundant and go through that twice so we're going to open it up right here flip it around give you guys the sneak peek inside and it gives us a welcome to the world of don't don't don't i can only imagine that is drobo so as we set that aside we got a little plastic material right here going to lift that up and we see hopefully the drobo nicely wrapped up a little bitty blanket you sleep it in there so i'm going to take that off set that off to the side i get a quick look at the drobo itself will go through the boring stuff after because this is what we are here to see so right there smack in the middle we have the drobo logo flipping it around here is the front enclosure this is where the hard drives actually go in and I believe this is magnets so go to toss at it and you guys can get a quick look in there on the back giving you guys a tour we have the fans which is going to expel the heat outward we have the dual thunderbolt ports USB 3.0 and we have the actual power input and the power button and then above that there's a little mini logo designated a name and giving you guys one more quick look at the front of the unit we're going to open that up show you what it looks like you're actually throwing a hard drive in there and if you guys are interested in seeing a full review with benchmarks after i use it out for about a week or so let me know with a comment down below and i'll come back with a full review of this guy lastly on the bottom here is that msata sot i was talking about so once you open this up you can toss in a really small msata SSD that is going to boost the entire performance on the overall unit so i'll definitely try to make sure i get ahold of one of those before i bring you guys the full review so now that we've taken a look at the unit will go and set it aside and take a quick look at the accessories because they actually do include a thunderbolt cable which is nice because that will save you 50 bucks they're going a little against the grain because it is black not white like the Apple cable then we do have a USB 3.0 the power brick what you guys can take a look at right here nothing fancy and lastly we have the manual d literature and looks like a drobo sticker so that wraps it up again if you guys do want to see a full review with benchmark speed test comparisons let me know with a comment down below now we'll be back in about a week or so with the full review of this guy aside from that this is john for bulls sign it out make sure to check out TechnoBuffalo calm for the latest and greatest i will see you guys later you
