G-Technology Studio Series storage is visually and technically compatible with the new Mac Pro
RedShark News
Its no coincidence, surely, that G-Tech's new Studio Storage system looks a bit like the new Mac Pro...When G-Technology put out their first FireWire-driven G-Drives and other external hard drives in the mid-2000s for video and audio professionals, their complementary look to the then-cutting edge Power Mac G5 was no coincidence. Now, G-Technology is introducing the new Thunderbolt 2 STUDIO SERIES, and the new look matches that of the brand new Mac Pro. Let’s take a look.
The G-RAID Studio is a little smaller than the G-SPEED Studio drive, but it still packs a fast punch with Thunderbolt 2 and configurations of RAID 0, RAID 1, and JBOD (which stands for ‘just a bunch of disks,’ and isn’t actually a RAID, but can act as a single drive). There are two drives in the G-RAID Studio, and you can pack up to 12 TB of space, making it perfect for video editing, storage, or back-up.
G-Technology promises up to 360 MB/s of transfer speeds via the Thunderbolt 2 connectivity (2 ports), along with the two 7200 RPM hard drives. The company is also stressing the G-RAID Studio will be able to handle compressed 2K and 4K video, along with all other flavors of HD and SD video. read more...
