RE: [Avid-L2] OT: Anybody working with G Raid Thunderbolt drives yet?

Gary

Can you give me a real world example of a USB 3 RAID that can (when
attached to a computer) provide greater than 200MB/s?

I can't but I would love to find one. Sounds, from your email, like you
have! Please share!

We have hundreds of customers editing away on Thunderbolt drives. From
our
Spotlight on Storage:

Over the past year we have seen a revolution in the external storage
industry!

In the past the only way to achieve throughputs of over 3GB per second
required expensive host adapters. Now USB3 and Thunderbolt provide
blazing
fast data rates that video editors love!

Today's computers now come with USB3 ports which provide you with
5GB/sec of
throughput - which is more than 6 times faster than Firewire800!!

Unlike USB2, the new USB3 is a very reliable and stable connection that
is
100% up to the demands of post production work. USB3 is more than 1.5
times
faster than eSata, and every bit as solid.

If your computer has Thunderbolt you can get 10GB/sec data rates - more
than
12 times as fast as FireWire800 and twice as fast as USB3! In fact
Thunderbolt RAIDs can deliver speeds as fast as expensive RAID
controllers
costing a thousand dollars or more. Even cooler, Thunderbolt gives you
TWO
channels of 10GB/sec throughput!!

I'm using a Pegasus R6 Thunderbolt on my Imac with MC 5.5

Works like a charm. I have it looped through to a monitor, and it
still has plenty of overhead left to do file copying tasks in the
background while I edit.
