G-Technology a Fabrik company and manufacturer of premium storage solutions for the Apple® Mac® community, today announced the new G-SPEED eS Pro storage solution with mini Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) connectivity that provides professional content creators Fibre Channel-like performance at a fraction of the cost. Bundled with a high–speed, eight–lane PCIe RAID controller that supports RAID levels 0, 1,3, 5 and 6, the G–SPEED eS Pro offers unprecedented speed for audio/video (A/V) professionals working with uncompressed HD and 2K footage. A single, four–drive G–SPEED eS Pro unit in RAID 0 delivers a data transfer rate of up to 330MB/sec read and 440 MB/sec write performance. Connect two units together in fail–safe RAID 5 and performance goes up to an amazing 675MB/sec read and 450 MB/sec write.

"Often a Fibre Channel-based solution is out of the question, or beyond the budget for that matter. In today's tough economy, A/V pros need a high performance, low cost solution to get the job done effectively, efficiently and reliability – their livelihood depends on it. We are confident that our new G–SPEED eS Pro drive provides these qualities with the highest sustained data transfer rates to undertake the most demanding applications."
