AMSTERDAM, Sept. 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- International
Broadcasting Convention (IBC 2014, Booth #7.G15) --
G-Technology, a leader in delivering premium storage solutions for
audio/video production, photography and creative
professionals, today announced the first extension of its Studio
line, the G-SPEED Studio XL. Expanding on the two–bay
G-RAID® Studio and four-bay G-SPEED Studio Thunderbolt 2
storage solutions, which launched earlier this year, the G-SPEED
Studio XL holds up to eight removable enterprise-class 7,200 RPM
hard drives, offering colossal capacity and performance of up to
1,350 megabytes per second (MB/sec) performance for the most
demanding digital content creation applications.
"We understand that today's creative professionals are
constantly on the go and need to turn around quality work on
ever-shortening timelines," said Mike
Williams, vice president and general manager, G-Technology.
"Boasting lightning-fast speeds, our eight-bay G-SPEED Studio XL
has been built to help better manage their demanding
projects, representing our continued efforts to further support
content creators' workflow and data management needs."
Featuring the sleek design and reliability of G-Technology's
Studio line, the G-SPEED Studio XL eight-bay Thunderbolt 2 storage
solution comes in a high-quality, black enclosure with integrated
cooling technology, ideal for any high-performance computer or
workstation. It also supports 4k workflows with user-configurable
RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60, and impressive transfer rates of up to
1,350MB/sec in RAID 0. Like other products in the Studio line, the
G-SPEED Studio XL can be daisy-chained via dual Thunderbolt 2 ports
to boost storage speeds and effortlessly support demanding
multi-stream HD, 2K and compressed 4K workflows. The G-SPEED Studio
XL will be available in November. Manufacturer's suggested retail
pricing is 24TB for $3,599.95, 32TB
for $4,599.95, 40TB for $5,499.95, 48TB for $5,999.95 and a colossal 64TB for $6,999.95.
"The new G-SPEED Studio XL is the ideal storage solution for me,
as it is incredibly fast, super quiet and really compact, allowing
me to conveniently house two of these massive storage solutions in
two different locations – one in New
York and one in LA," said Vincent
Laforet, Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer and director.
"Previously, I had a large server with less capacity in these
locations, which was economically prohibitive. Now I have 64TB of
easily accessible data at my fingertips with the G-SPEED Studio XL
solutions, which helps me find and transfer my files in ways that
were only a distant dream just a few years ago."
Attendees of the International Broadcasting Convention can
preview the G-SPEED Studio XL at the G-Technology Booth
#7.G15.
