6. OPTIMIZING DATA TRANSFER RATES
G-RAID can be connected to any Mac or PC equipped with a
FireWire 400 or FireWire 800 port. For optimal performance,
G-RAID should be connected via a FireWire 800 port. Many
Macintosh G4s, PowerBook G4s and all G5s have a built-in
FireWire 800 port. Most new PCs have a built-in FireWire 400
ports.
For Mac and PC computers that do not support FireWire 800,
install the G-Tech FireWire 800 PCI card (for desktops) or the
FireWire 800 CardBus adapter (for laptops) shown below. You
can purchase these adapters by contacting G-Tech Sales at
(310) 449-4599 or simply buy online at

speeds when installed in a 32-bit PCI slot.

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 the G-Tech FireWire 800 PCI adapter or FireWire
