During a behind closed doors meeting earlier this year at PhotoPlus Expo, we got to sit down with Drobo's Chief Technology Officer Rod Harrison to learn about the brand new Drobo 8D Direct Attached Storage (DAS) that the company just officially announced today.

Designed with creative professionals in mind, the Drobo 8D DAS is a very easy to operate, nearly plug and play Direct Attached Storage device that features impressive performance while ensuring ease of use for creatives that may not have a background in managing enterprise level storage devices. The 8D is also the first Drobo product to have Intelligent Volume Management built in, supporting a maximum volume size of 128TB, and is also the first 8 Bay Drobo device to include an SSD Accelerator Bay for Hot Data Caching.  The Drobo 8D is the first new product from the company after it was acquired by StorCentric, and reflects the parent company's commitment to building world-class customer-centric storage products. We look forward to reviewing the Drobo 8D as soon as review units are available. Full press release after the jump. . thephoblographer.com
