G-Technology has announced a new G-RAID drive with Thunderbolt 2 and USB 3.0, as well as a unit with just USB 3.0.
The new drive is a dual bay drive with 7200RPM enterprise class drives inside. It can be configured as a RAID 0, RAID 1 or JBOD drive. In RAID 0, it can deliver transfer speeds up to 440MB/s (I suspect that is a read speed quote).
The dual bay G-RAID drive ships with up to 16TB of storage space from two 8TB drives and down to a smaller 8TB version.
Pricing is $1,299.95 for 16TB, $999.95 for 12TB and $799.95 for 8TB for the Thunderbolt 2 and USB 3.0 unit.
The G-RAID with just USB 3.0 is $1,199.95 for 16TB, $799.95 for 12TB and $599.95 for 8TB. Both products will be available in March.
Wow 440MB/s in RAID! That’s almost as fast as regular SSDs (non PCI-E or M.2 based). I know it’s both disk’s speed combined but still pretty fast.
Agreed. That’s pretty dang quick considering it is just two spinning drives in RAID 0.
