Video Guide to Practical Uses of RAID from RGG EDU

The team over at RGG EDU did a great job working with G-Tech to produce this fantastic informational series of videos explaining the basics of RAID technology. They are under 5 minutes each. Short and sweet and to the point. If you are a digital photographer or videographer, you owe it to yourself to watch these videos. Then check out our Videoguys Top 10 G-Tech Storage Solutions to find the G-Tech drive that is right for your workflow and budget! Heat is the enemy of all drives and many other external drive vendors do not properly ventilate or cool their units. In addition the quality control on the drives these other vendors use in their drives are simply not as tight or rigorous as those used by G-Tech. G-Tech drives are designed for good air flow and heat dissipation. Their Raids are also fan cooled. Their quality control is excellent. We’ve been selling GTech storage for almost 10 years and the long-term reliability has been superb.
