About Your G-RAID mini

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the G-RAID mini from G-Technology. The G-RAID mini hard drive

is a high-speed, low-cost portable RAID designed specically for professional content cre-

ation applications. G-RAID mini features either RAID 0 (performance) or RAID 1 (protected)

operation, and a high-speed quad interface.

G-RAID mini is the ideal portable storage solution for safe-guarding content transferred

from professional tapeless video cameras. Its compact size and tough, all-aluminum enclo-

sure makes it perfect for capturing and editing on the go or working on location.

G-RAID mini is capable of delivering an unprecedented 170+ MB/second transfer rate

when connected via eSATA in RAID 0 mode. The drive is FireWire™ bus-powered even

when connected via eSATA so you do not need to be connected to AC power. G-RAID mini

supports multi-stream HDV, DVCPro™ HD, XDCAM™ HD, ProRes™ 422 and uncompressed

SD workows.
