G-SPEED eS PRO provides professional content creators better than Fibre-Channel performance for demanding post production applications at a fraction of the cost. The compact and whisper quiet G-SPEED eS PRO features mini-SAS connectivity for very high performance operation.

When used with an ATTO R680 PCIe RAID controller, a single G-SPEED eS PRO enclosure with four hot- swappable Hitachi Ultrastar 7200 RPM SATA drives supports real-time playback of 10-bit uncompressed 1080/60i with over 400MB.sec performance. Two G-SPEED eS Pro units in protected mode (RAID 5) achieve close to 1000MB/sec performance and support two simultaneous streams of uncompressed 10-bit HD or a single 2K DPX sequence. G-SPEED eS PRO is simply the most cost-effective desktop RAID storage solution designed specifically for high-end post.
