G-RAID4 - The Fourth Generation is Here!

Introduced in 2004, the original G-RAID from G-Tech was revolutionary in its ability to support professional content creation applications via FireWire. G-RAID fundamentally changed the video storage industry by providing unprecedented performance, reliability and affordability in a simple and beautifully designed package.

The Latest in Storage Technology

The new dual-drive G-RAID4 builds on the original G-RAID designs by incorporating the latest and greatest disk storage technology currently available including two 500GB Hitachi 7200 RPM SATA II hard drives each with up to 32MB of cache and the new Oxford 936 bridge chipset. The use of these latest generation components enables G-RAID4 to offer superior performance and reliability for demanding content creation applications.

Quad Interface & Storage Capacities

G-RAID4 features a new quad interface design with FireWire 400, FireWire 800, USB 2.0 connectivity and now eSata (3GBit). G-RAID4 is now available in storage capacities up to an amazing 4000 GB in the same compact form factor.

Guaranteed Performance

Real-world performance within an application is the most important factor to consider when purchasing a RAID system. While benchmark numbers can be used to quantify the raw read/write performance of a storage system, they do not translate in to real-world performance. G-RAID4 is guaranteed to the support the simultaneous playback of multiple layers of video in real-time in Final Cut Pro, Premiere and Xpress as shown below. G-Tech stand behind this claim 100%.

Simple to Setup

G-RAID4 appears to any Mac or PC computer as a single, big and fast disk drive. G-RAID4 is ready right out of the box for use with Mac OSX systems. A simple reformat is all it takes to ready G-RAID4 for use with Windows systems.
