Roben-3 Thunderbolt
The ROBEN-3 is available in THREE model configurations offering unique features for full customization. The
ROBEN-3 basic model offers the potential of (2) 5.25-in expansion bays, while the ROBEN-3 storage model
offers (8) 2.5-inch hot swappable bays, and finally the ROBEN-3 Mac Mini version allows for a direct
integration of an Apple Mac Mini, making it the most versatile Thunderbolt™ product ever offered by
Magma.
The ROBEN-3 has a rack-mountable aluminum chassis designed for integrated removable storage
expansion, with room for up to eight hot pluggable 2.5” SSD, SAS or SATA hard drives. This added power
can be channeled through lightning fast Thunderbolt technology at 10Gbps, with the option of 20Gbps
bandwidth with the rollout of Thunderbolt 2 capable devices like the new Mac Pro. With 3-Slot PCIe and
internal storage expansion, ROBEN-3 enables the serious audio professional to transform their computer into
a powerful workstation - a sidekick for the creative hero.
Add a Mac mini
ROBEN-3 will also allow you the option to host a Mac mini within the chassis creating an integrated rack
mount server with direct Thunderbolt connection to 3-slot PCIe expansion slots. Mac mini external
connectivity is provided through the front and rear panels, including a secure I-Lok housing allowing you to
lock your valuable application or plug-in licenses right to the chassis.
