Re: [Avid-L2] Re: OT: G-Tech Rant

My Avid reseller today endorsed G-Tech for a nearline storage. The G-Speed
8TB in particular.

We've used G-drives (full-size and mini) and G-RAID for years with few ill
effects - but there have been a couple of notable hiccups which gave us
heart attacks. Good thing we had duplicates.
