Earlier this year, Western Digital (WD) acquired Hitachi world Storage Technologies (HGST), and with it G-Technology. With HGST currently operating as a completely owned WD subsidiary, one in all the primary product hitting the shelves when the acquisition was the recently released G-RAID with Thunderbolt, that claims the title of the world’s highest capability, RAID 0, Thunderbolt external storage drive.
The latest G-RAID drive is actually a dead ringer for the G-RAID drive initial shown at IBC 2011, however with the addition of Thunderbolt connectivity. The G-RAID with Thunderbolt drive is obtainable in four, half dozen and eight TB capacities, with 2 7200 RPM Deskstar HDDs housed among the drive’s all-aluminum case, that options 2 Thunderbolt ports on the rear that enable for daisy chaining of up to 6 Thunderbolt-compatible peripherals.Aimed primarily at audio and video professionals performing on Macs, the G-RAID with Thunderbolt delivers sustained throughput of 280 MB/sec to handle multi-stream compressed HD workflows, as well as REDCODE, DVCPro HD, XDCAM HD and ProRes 422. the corporate boasts the drive will transfer a full-length, high-definition, internet-ready H.264 movie in but a moment. And though it comes pre-formatted for Mac OS X systems, support for Windows systems is simply a reformat away.
The G-RAID with Thunderbolt drive ranges in value from US$699.99 for the four TB model, $849.99 for the half dozen TB model, and $999.99 for the eight TB capability unit.
