With a continued focus on delivering the industry’s most trusted, high performance, and reliable solutions for content creators, G Tech’s move to integrate enterprise class hard drives better meets today’s escalating HD video editing needs in multi drive RAID environments. Like workloads in a data centre, post production storage solutions are accessing and streaming critical HD video as editors pore through footage to assemble the perfect sequence. These users cannot afford dropped frames, latency issues or compromised reliability as their livelihood depends on the content they create. Because of this stringent requirement, G Tech has optimized its G SPEED family to better balance the system requirements with external hard drive features that match the rigors of the post workload.
Enterprise Class Hard Drive Benefits
Enterprise class SATA hard drives are specifically designed to withstand multiuser, 24x7 storage applications in systems such as network attached storage, RAID storage arrays and media servers. For enhanced reliability, enterprise class drives are rated at 1.2 million hours mean time between failure (MTBF) and receive additional manufacturing testing at extended temperature ranges to ensure a target of less than one non recoverable bit error per 1015 bits read. They also utilize enterprise specific firm ware to minimize the performance impact of rotational vibration interference (RVI) found in rack mounted servers and multi drive storage arrays.
In addition, enterprise class drives are designed for a low dollar per GB ratio with higher reliability, while minimizing power consumption. Combine all this with G Tech’s proven quality reputation; and G Tech has raised the bar in delivering storage solutions specifically designed for the professional content creation market.
G Tech is the only external storage vendor in the world with a complete line of enterprise class 7200 RPM drive based, RAID external storage solutions specifically designed for the A/V market.
The G SPEED family includes:
• G SPEED Q – G Tech’s new high performance, four bay, hot swappable RAID storage solution. Comes equipped with 3 Gbit eSATA, FireWire 800, FireWire 400 (via cable) and USB 2.0. The internal RAID controller supports RAID 0 and 5. Portable, small footprint is ideal for laptop applications where high capacity and RAID protection are important. Capacities up to 8 TB.
• G SPEED eS – High speed, low cost RAID solution with 3Gbit eSATA connectivity. Ships with a RAID controller supporting levels 0, 1, 5, 10 and JBOD. Supports multi stream SD, ProRes 422 and uncompressed HD work flows. Four bay hot swappable unit, starting at 8 TB per unit with the ability to scale up to 32 TB.
• G SPEED eS Pro – Mini Serial A fached SCSI (SAS) connectivity provides Fibre Channel like performance at a fraction of the cost. Bundled with a high speed, eight lane PCIe RAID controller that supports RAID levels 0, 1, 3, 5 and 6. Offers amazing speed for uncompressed HD and 2K work flows. Four bay hot swappable unit starts at 8 TB per unit and can scale to 16 TB.
• G SPEED eS PRO XL High performance, huge capacity and low cost, rack mount storage solution for high end HD and 2K film production. Ships with a two port mini SAS RAID controller card and a locking, two meter mini SAS cable. Can scale from a 12 TB solution up to 192 TB. The PCIe x8 RAID controller supports JBOD and RAID levels 0, 1, 3, 5 and 6. Up to eight G SPEED eS PRO XL units can be connected to one RAID controller card.
• G SPEED FC XL – Professional 12 and 16 bay rack mount solutions with 8Gb's dual Fibre Channel for fail safe SAN or adding high performance RAID storage to existing XSan 2 meta SAN networks. Easily supports multi stream, multi user uncompressed SD, HD and 2K post production work flows. Offers RAID levels 0, 1, 3, 5, 6 and JBOD. Capacities up to 32TB per unit. Using the available SAS expansion port, it is scalable up to 256TB by attaching G Tech’s G SPEED eS PRO XL units to the chassis.
Extending its Quality Brand in the A/V Market it pioneered, G Tech by Hitachi now ships its G SPEED RAID Storage solutions with Enterprise Class external hard drive, delivering More Value at same Affordable Price.
