Today, Drobo announced two new special editions for the 5N2 and the 5D3 to bring performance and peace of mind to power users. Power users among creative professionals, SMBs and connected homes require increased speeds, data recovery protection, and extended support for their data-intensive workflows. These special editions are best-in-class complements to Drobo's stellar history of delivering award-winning simple, safe, and smart storage solutions.

All Gold Edition Drobos include a premium DroboCare warranty for five years, replacing the standard two-year coverage for uninterrupted protection on Drobo products. Additionally, the Gold Editions include a 128GB mSATA SSD for up to 30% faster access to frequently used files. The Platinum packages also include one instance of a data recovery service within a five year period. This partnership is an industry first and a direct result of our power users' desire to ensure their data will never be compromised. DriveSavers has the highest recovery rate for mechanical, water and fire damage, file corruption, and more on hard drives and all data storage devices. Drobo has an exclusive partnership with DriveSavers for this level of service, potentially saving customers thousands of dollars in recovery fees.


The two packages include the following features:

5N2 and 5D3 Gold Editions:
  • 5-Year of DroboCare warranty, which includes 24x7 support and hardware replacement
  • mSATA card for Accelerator Bay - up to 30% performance boost

5N2 and 5D3 Platinum Editions:
  • 5-Year of DroboCare warranty, which includes 24x7 support and hardware replacement
  • mSATA card for Accelerator Bay - up to 30% performance boost
  • 5- Year Data Recovery Plan provided by DriveSavers

"We are thrilled that Drobo has selected us as the provider of their data recovery service plan," said Scott Moyer, President of DriveSavers. "Drobo demands the highest quality for their customers and we are proud to align with a partner whose standards match our own."

Extending Simplicity With Special Editions
Feedback from Drobo's power users has shown one thing - they want to increase performance and peace of mind. This customer feedback is the inspiration for the Gold and

Platinum Editions, making the already best-selling 5D3 and 5N2 models even better. Every Drobo includes unique features such as a battery-powered failure protection, expandability with any sized hard drives, and a self- healing file system.

"Our power users drive our technology improvements, which is a testament to our customer centricity," said Mihir Shah, CEO of Drobo. "What power users need now is an important indicator of what our other customers will want in the future."
