About Your G-RAID
®
with Thunderbolt™
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing G-RAID with Thunderbolt from G-Technology. The G-RAID with
Thunderbolt is a high-speed, low-cost RAID that provides an ideal storage solution for
content creation professionals. With its unique industrial design and all-aluminum housing,
G-RAID with Thunderbolt is the de facto standard for many post-production facilities
worldwide.
G-RAID with Thunderbolt features dual Thunderbolt 2 ports and a USB 3.0 interface. When
connected via the Thunderbolt interface, G-RAID with Thunderbolt provides data transfer
rates up to 440MB/second to support the most demanding professional content creation
applications such as Final Cut Pro®, Avid® Media Composer and Adobe Premiere®.
With its built-in RAID controller, the G-RAID with Thunderbolt is not tied to a single workstation
and can be easily transported for use in the edit bay or on the road. The unit contains an
internal RAID controller and can be configured in RAID 0 (Performance), RAID 1 (Protected) or
JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) mode.
In the RAID 1 or JBOD mode of operation, if a single hard drive failure occurs, your data will still
be safe and accessible (in RAID 1 all your data is safe, whereas in JBOD all your data stored on
the good drive is safe).
