Half-Terabyte External Portable Drive by G-Technology
To be available in March
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on January 28, 2008 at 4:05 pmG-Technology, Inc. that was acquired by Fabrik Inc.
announces a new addition to its G-DRIVE mini external storage family.
With a FireWire 800, FireWire 400 and USB 2.0 interface, the new
G-DRIVE mini Triple 500 is the first portable drive in the industry at
500GB giving AV professionals and multimedia enthusiasts fast,
high-capacity portable storage. Compact and light weight – around 10 oz
– the G-DRIVE mini easliy slips into a computer, camara or camcorder
bag, holding more than 45 hours of high defenition video, 200,000 5
Mpixel JPEG photos, or 125,000 MP3 files. Because the device is
bus-powered, no bulky AC adaptor is required.
All G-Tech solutions are designed specifically for the Mac
environment, offering performance, durability, capacity and
compatibility. The new G-Drive mini Triple 500 is formatted HFS+ and is
Time Machine ready, making it easy to protect critical personal or
professional content. When using Mac OS X, journaling is available,
which continuously records changes to files on the drive in a “journal”
so if your computer stops due to a power failure or some other issue,
the journal restores the external drive to a known-good state when the
computer restarts. Ensuring data integrity and reliability, G-Tech
keeps things cool inside the G-DRIVE mini using an unique silent
fanless cooling system that dissipates heat from the internal drive.
Its all aluminum enclosure, which complements MacBook® Pro and other
laptop computers designs, also acts as a heatsink, absorbing heat from
the air inside the device.
“Providing quality solutions is paramount. Everything from our new
G-DRIVE mini Triple 500 to our 16-bay G-SPEED RAID solution for film
production undergos stringent quality testing,” said Roger Mabon, vice
president of sales and marketing for Fabrik’s G-Technology product
group. “This principle applies to our new G-DRIVE mini for today’s
mobile AV professionals and content creators. Not only is it durable to
withstand an arduous portable environment, it provide capacities up to
500GB, offers univerasal connectivitity and speed in a single compact
solution.”
Available in March 2008, each G-Tech G-DRIVE mini comes complete
with cables and a protective leather carrying case. Suggested retail
pricing has not been set. All drives are Mac OS and Windows compatible
and come with a standard 3-Year factory warranty.
