High-Speed eSATA Storage
Solutions for SD/HD Editing
Compact and stylish aluminum enclosure specifically designed for professional
content creation applications, G-SPEED eS features a high-speed 3Gbit/sec eSATA
interface and provides RAID 5 data protection when used in conjunction with the
optional G-Tech PCI Express (PCIe) RAID controller. G-SPEED
eS supports multi-stream video editing workflows on Mac
Pro and Windows workstations at an unprecedented low
cost per TB. Supports multi-stream SD, Apple ProRes 422 and
HD video workflows. Storage capacities up to 16 TB using the
G-Tech PCIe RAID controller.
◆ When used with the G-Tech RAID controller,
G-SPEED eS can easily be configured as a
RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 or as a JBOD. This flexibility
enables the system to be tuned to the re-
quired level of performance and fault-toler-
ance necessary to support your application.
G-SPEED eS can also be set up as a software
RAID or JBOD when used with third party
port multiplier aware eSATA host adapters.
◆ Windows 2000 / XP are 32 bit operating
systems that don’t allow logical disks to be
greater than 2TB. The G-SPEED eS RAID Con-
troller breaks this barrier with Variable Sector
Size (VSS) technology. VSS increases the sec-
tor size presented to the operating system
making it possible to now have logical disks
of up to 16TB. No more breaking large disk
volumes into multiple 2TB volumes!
◆ When used with the G-Tech PCIe RAID
controller, a single 4-drive G-SPEED eS unit
supports multi-stream DV, HDV, DVCPRO HD,
ProRes 422 & uncompressed SD playback in
RAID 0 or RAID 5 mode and single-stream
8-bit, 1080/60i HD playback in RAID 0 mode.
◆ Two G-SPEED eS units and the G-Tech PCIe
RAID controller support all of the above plus
10-bit, 1080i/60 HD playback in RAID 0 or
RAID 5 mode.
◆ As many as four G-SPEED eS enclosures can
be attached to the G-Tech RAID controller to
support up to 16TB storage with speeds in
excess of 600MB/sec!
◆ The disk drive and fan modules are field
upgradeable and hot-swappable.
FEATURES
◆ G-SPEED eS has a built-in Web GUI that is
accessed via any local internet browser.
This simple GUI is used to configure and
monitor the RAID system. Many aspects of
the system are monitored, including power
supply voltage, Fan RPM and the tempera-
ture of the RAID controller and hard drives.
In the event of a problem, the G-SPEED eS
can send an email message to up to four
recipients.
◆ G-SPEED eS features a compact aluminum
desktop enclosure with 4 lockable SATA II
drive modules, each with up to 32 MB of
cache.
◆ Supports the latest and greatest
professional video editing systems from AJA, Avid, Blackmagic Design and more.
◆ Backed by a 3-Year factory warranty and unlimited free technical support
