The 5N2 is a very curvy, voluptuous enclosure, finished in a gun-metal colour. The front is a glossy panel which is removed to reveal the HDD enclosures.
The rear of the Drobo features a rounded honeycomb design, through which the 120mm fan can pull air across the HDDs and out of the back. There’s also a power switch and two RJ45 ports, which can be bonded for increased performance.
The underside houses 4 large rubber feet to minimise any vibrations or shock, along with a slow for the acceleration drive, within which you’re supposed to place an mSATA drive to increase the performance of frequently requested files.
The lighting system on the front is as simple as it’s possible to be, each drive bay has its own LED which will display green, amber or red. Along with those LEDs, you will also see a row of blue LEDs across the bottom to show current data usage.
