Drobo 5D Getting Started Guide 6
The Drobo 5D has two Thunderbolt ports, enabling you to take advantage of Thunderbolt's daisy-
chaining capabilities. With Thunderbolt, you can daisy-chain up to six peripheral devices and one
display from a single computer. Note that because Thunderbolt has dual-protocol support (with
DisplayPort and PCI Express), you can connect your computer to Thunderbolt devices or
DisplayPort products. You can also connect non-Thunderbolt devices at the end of a daisy-chain
by using Thunderbolt technology adapters.
Here are three options for connecting your Drobo device using its Thunderbolt interface.
1. Your Drobo device directly connected to a computer (with no daisy-chain).
