Introduction
Thank you for purchasing G-SPEED™ Q from G-Technology™,
G-SPEED Q hard drives from G-Technology are the ideal
storage solutions for content creation professionals.
With all the power and the speed of G-SPEED and an internal
RAID controller that sports a quad interface, G-Technology’s
new four-bay G-SPEED Q delivers solid, affordable RAID
storage for both Mac users and creative professionals. G-
SPEED Q offers outstanding performance, high storage
capacity (up to 8 TB per unit) and optional fail-safe operation
at a low cost per gigabyte. Unlike single drive systems, if a
failure occurs your data is still safe and accessible. G-SPEED Q
is also a fast data array, ideal for HDTV video production with
formats such as multi-stream SD, Uncompressed HD and
ProRes™ formats. With G-SPEED Q, your footage is always
safely backed up. It works perfectly with demanding content
creation applications, such as those found in Apple Final Cut
Studio™.
With its built-in RAID controller, the G-SPEED Q is not tied to a
single workstation and can be easily transported and used on
a laptop or desktop in the edit bay or on the road. With its
uniquely designed all aluminum enclosure, the compact and
whisper quiet G-SPEED Q features four hot-swappable Hitachi
Ultrastar 7200 RPM 3Gbit SATA hard drives, and can be
congured in RAID 0 or RAID 5. Inside is a heavy duty power
supply and a removable cooling fan to ensure long life and
reliable operation.
G-SPEED Q’s quad interface features 3Gbit eSATA, FireWire™
800, FireWire 400 (via supplied cable) and USB 2.0.
NOTE: G-SPEED Q is formatted for Mac OS X
and will mount on the desktop right out of
the box. For details on reinitializing the G-
SPEED Q, using the G-SPEED Q on Windows,
or for using the G-SPEED Q for both Windows
and Mac, click here.
IMPORTANT: The G-SPEED Q has been set up at the factory in
RAID 5 mode. To change the G-SPEED Q to RAID 0 operation,
Refer to the section entitled: “Changing the RAID Level” if you
wish to change the mode of operation.
