Drobo 5D3 Thunderbolt 3 mSATA-accelerated Direct-Attached Storage (DAS)

Description

This is my Drobo 5D3 Thunderbolt 3 mSATA-accelerated Direct-Attached Storage (DAS). This drive enclosure works perfectly well. I use it to store Time Machine backups on my Mac. This model supports super fast access via an internal mSATA drive (not included). I'm selling this because I have decided to move to cloud-based backups of my machine.
