Thunderbolt … it may be closer than you think …

blog tbuiocchi e1332538899728 Thunderbolt ... it may be closer than you think ...I was brought up on the east coast, where we enjoyed the monster summertime thunderstorms every year. One of the coolest things about thunder is that you see it first and then you hear the “kaboom” impact – the delay sends anxious anticipation through everyone, and if you’re into science, you can estimate how far away the bolt is based on the length of the delay.  Let’s face it, thunderbolts are cool.

Today, Drobo is previewing our new Thunderbolt technology much like the real thing – you’ll see it now (check out our home page for the quick glimpse) and you’ll soon hear the kaboom. Yes, there are some other Thunderbolt products out there now, but I guarantee you that you haven’t seen anything like what we’re building.  Nothing even close.

Stay tuned, and start counting – it may be closer than you think!

Thanks – and thanks specifically to the 234,867 emails and tweets we got over the past year asking for some Drobo Thunder – your anticipation will soon be over.
