G Technology G Speed family is always enterprise class
As
the
premium
brand
serving
content
creators
and
the
professional
audio/video
(A/V) community,
G Technology™
by
Hitachi
has
transitioned
its
entire
G SPEED
RAID
external
storage family
to
high grade,
enterprise class
hard
drives long ago.
With
solutions
ranging
from
the
four bay
G SPEED™
Q
with
a
quad
interface
to
the
storage
performance
mammoth,
the
16 bay

Hitachi
Ultrastar™
drives,
one
of
the
industry’s
most
reliable
and
trusted
enterprise class
hard
drives
that
are
specifically
designed,
manufactured
and
tested
to
meet
the
demanding
environments
found
in
data
centres
around
the
world.
With
a
continued
focus
on
delivering
the
industry’s
most
trusted,
high
performance,
and reliable
solutions
for
content
creators,
G Tech’s
move
to
integrate
enterprise class
hard
drives
better
meets
today’s
escalating
HD
video editing
needs
in
multi drive
RAID
environments.
Like
workloads
in
a
data
centre,
post production
storage
solutions are
accessing
and
streaming
critical
HD
video
as
editors
pore
through
footage
to
assemble
the
perfect
sequence. These
users
cannot
afford
dropped
frames,
latency
issues
or compromised
reliability
as
their
livelihood
depends
on
the
content
they
create.
Because
of
this
stringent
requirement,
G Tech
has
optimized
its
G SPEED
family
to
better
balance
the
system
requirements
with
hard
drive
features
that
match
the
rigors
of
the
post
workload.
Enterprise Class
Hard
Drive
Benefits
Enterprise class
SATA
hard
drives
are
specifically
designed
to
withstand
multiuser,
24×7
storage
applications
in
systems
such
as
network
attached
storage,
RAID
storage
arrays
and media
servers. For
enhanced
reliability,
enterprise class
drives
are
rated
at
1.2
million
hours mean time between failure (MTBF) and
receive
additional
manufacturing
testing
at
extended
temperature
ranges
to
ensure
a
target
of
less
than
one
non recoverable
bit
error per
1015 bits
read.
They
also
utilize
enterprise specific
firm ware
to
minimize
the
performance
impact
of
rotational
vibration
interference
(RVI)
found
in
rack mounted
servers
and
multi drive
storage
arrays.
In addition, enterprise class drives are designed for a low dollar per GB ratio with higher reliability, while minimizing power consumption. Combine all this with G Tech’s proven quality reputation; and G Tech has raised the bar in delivering storage solutions specifically designed for the professional content creation market.
