Hitachi GST showcases its 4TB Hard Drives

G-Technology by Hitachi has introduced its first 4TB hard drives at IBC 2011 in its two-drive, RAID 0, G-RAID solution. The 8TB G-RAID demo shows how G-Technology is making digital production faster, super-sized and affordable. 

"We understand the process of creation, and today, digital video editing is no longer facility-driven. It is driven by the places and lifestyles of the people doing the work. Our G-RAID Thunderbolt demo connected to a MacBook Pro shows how our customers can get lightning speed and huge capacity in a single RAID 0 storage solution to easily edit anywhere. Built like a tank, our G-RAID solution has been the cornerstone of our business, and we look forward to bringing our Thunderbolt-based family and 4TB-based solutions to the market. With G-Technology's high-quality, high-performance commitment, our customers can continue to focus on their work and not on their equipment," said Steve Pereira, Vice-President, Hitachi GST, Europe Middle East and Africa.  

G-Technology will begin shipping its 4TB-based G-RAID and single-drive G-DRIVE solutions with eSATA, FireWire 800 (FireWire 400 via cable) and USB 2.0 ports in October. First in a family of solutions, the company's Thunderbolt 4TB-based G-RAID and G-DRIVE solutions will ship in Q4.
