9.  OPTIMIZING DATA TRANSFER RATES 

G-RAID

can be connected to any Mac or PC equipped  

with a eSATA, FireWire 400, FireWire 800 or USB port.  For 

optimal performance, G-RAID

should be connected via an 

eSATA port.   
 

Note:

 For maximum performance on Mac and PC computers that do not 

support eSATA, it is recommended to install an eSATA PCIe adapter (for 
desktops) or an eSATA CardBus adapter (for laptops). Visit G-Tech at  

www.g-technology.com

 to purchase these adapters. 

 

Note:

 If you wish to use G-RAID

in conjunction with AJA’s Io, Avid’s Mojo or 

any other video editing system that utilizes a FireWire connection, you 

must

 

connect G-RAID

to either an eSATA PCIe adapter or eSATA CardBus adapter 

for proper operation.
