Ok, so in something the size of a deli sandwich, the Drobo Mini, loaded with three 2.5inch (63.5 mm) one terabyte hard drives and weighing in at about 3 pounds (1.3 kgs), either sits neatly on your desk and or robust enough to withstand baggage handling in your travel bag.
Drobo Mini:  Adroit external data storage system
Among the many technical features - are  hot-swappable drive bays  - no carriers or screws needed to insert drives  - an innovative design allowing drives to click in and out like a ballpoint pen, notwithstanding that it’s the world's first high-performance and protected portable storage system.
Here to give you a more thorough explanation of how you can integrate the Drobo mini into your working or living environment is, the following video review courtesy of George Crump, lead analyst from Storage Switzerland:
