From what I read about the Drobo 5D, it doesn’t really say it is designed for media handling. It is super fast for back ups. Have you run a speediest with AJA or BlackMagic speed test apps? (both are free).
And USB 3 is not the best connection for media. Thunderbolt or Firewire still trump it. SATA or SAS is better still.
