Guaranteed Performance
Real-world performance within an application is the most important factor to consider when purchasing a RAID system. While benchmark numbers can be used to quantify the raw read/write performance of a storage system, they do not translate in to real-world performance. G-RAID2 is guaranteed to the support the simultaneous playback of multiple layers of video in real-time in Final Cut Pro, Premiere and Xpress as shown below. We stand behind this claim 100%.
Simple to Setup
G-RAID2 appears to any Mac or PC computer as a single, big and fast disk drive. G-RAID2 is ready right out of the box for use with Mac OSX systems. A simple reformat is all it takes to ready G-RAID2 for use with Windows systems.
The Best Warranty & Support in the Business

#1 - G-Tech G-Raids
The coolest thing to hit video storage since the Medea VideoRaid! The new G-Tech G-Raid's (G-Tech is actually a spin-off of Medea Corp) unique design, performance and price make this a must have with every editing system. The streamlined case with smooth rounded edges is clearly inspired by Apple, but both PC and Mac lovers will agree… it looks great. But, don't let that cool exterior fool you. G-Raids are packed with enough performance to please most video editors. Each unit includes two 7200 RPM drives, pre-configured as a RAID-0 stripe for maximum throughput. Attach them to a FireWire800 port and you'll be able to run multiple streams of DV or even HDV footage. We even have folks running a couple of streams of uncompressed video off a single G-Raid!
One of the most important factors to consider when purchasing external storage is reliability and sustained performance. When you are editing for hours at a time, your drives are constantly pushing through huge chunks of data. The result of all this activity is heat - the enemy of any hard drive. As the drive heats up, performance drops and if left unchecked, the drive will eventually fail. Each G-Raid has a built-in cooling system that includes a fan and a cooling channel that keeps your G-Raid from heating up – no matter how hard you push it. This is a key factor in maintaining the performance and stability needed for digital content creation.
