… As Well as G-Technology

G-Technology by Hitachi Global Storage Technologies showcasing new products at NAB 2011.

  

 G-Technology family of external hard drives

They are for SD, HD, 2K, or 4K post production workflows for Apple Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro CS5, or (insert your favorite post production software here). All made from the finest components – all aluminum enclosures, fastest interfaces, reliable hard drives, and latest chipsets – here’s a sneak peek of our lineup at NAB:

New Tough and Rugged G-DRIVE duro Portable Drive
This sleek external drive has a shock-resistant exterior that helps protect it in case it tumbles out of your gear bag while you’re shooting your next production. Pre-formatted for Macs, the G-DRIVE duro portable drive is FireWire 800 and USB 2.0 equipped, bus-powered and Time Machine ready. Offered in 500GB and 750GB capacities, the G-DRIVE duro portable drive will be available in June with an MSRP of $149.99 for 500GB and $179.99 for 750GB.

Thunderbolt Technology
G-Technology is showing its support for Thunderbolt at NAB. Developed by Intel and brought to market with collaboration from Apple, Thunderbolt is more than just another high-speed cable. Thunderbolt technology will set a new standard for media creators with dual channel, 10 gigabits per second (Gbps) performance and simultaneous support for PCIe and DisplayPort protocols over a single cable. At 10Gbps, Thunderbolt is twice as fast as USB 3.0 and 12 times faster than FireWire 800.
