Connected Data to merge with Drobo, bring Transporter features to Drobo products

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="image-container" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Connected Data to merge with Drobo, bring Transporter features to Drobo products " data-src-height="345" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/05/droboporter01.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">Connected Data, maker of Transporter, just announced that it's entered into a merger agreement with Drobo. As a refresher, Transporter is a cloud-based file sharing appliance that provides Dropbox-like functionality without the recurring subscription costs. Drobo's best known for its Ethernet, Thunderbolt, FireWire and USB-based multi-drive storage devices which offer seamless expandability. Presumably we'll start seeing some of Connected Data's file sharing features in upcoming Drobo products. The two companies have 30 days to finalize the merger process -- and perhaps even come up with a clever new brand. We vote for DroboPorter ourselves. PR after the break.</div><div class="pr_box open" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><div class="pr_box_button"><br /></div><div class="pr_text"><strong>Connected Data and Drobo Enter Into Merger Agreement</strong><br /> SANTA CLARA, CALIF. – May 28, 2013 – Connected Data, a provider of elegantly designed storage solutions to share, access and protect data, and Drobo, maker of award-winning data storage products, today announced they have entered into a merger agreement.<br /> Geoff Barrall, founder and CEO of Connected Data, was the original founder and former CEO of Drobo.<br /> The companies are currently in a 30-day due diligence process.<br /> </div></div></div>

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><hr dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" /> <div class="image-container" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/12/livedsc039602.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> Late last year Connected Data's Transporter, a private peer-to-peer storage solution, was revealed to the world through a Kickstarter campaign. Shortly thereafter we got to see the thing in person, and today those who funded Transporter will be happy to know that the company has begun fulfilling those orders. Not only that, folks who didn't go the Kickstarter route can pre-order a Transporter (or two) from Adorama and Datavision currently, an you'll be able to get one from Amazon, B&H Photo, J&R or PC Mall in the very near future. Interested? Prices start at $199 should you wish to supply your own 2.5-inch HDD, but those who don't want to go the BYOD route can get a 1TB drive thrown in for 100 bucks more, and a 2TB version can be had for $399. </div></div>
