Frequently Asked Questions
What is the capacity advantage of 6TB for a production studio?
6TB provides ample storage for HD and compressed 4K projects, accommodating multi-hour footage and project files without constant archiving, while maintaining fast Thunderbolt 2 performance.
How do dual Thunderbolt ports enable daisy-chaining configurations?
Dual ports allow you to connect the G-RAID Studio to both a computer and another Thunderbolt device, or to daisy-chain multiple storage arrays, expanding capacity without losing connectivity.
Can I support multiple HD streams simultaneously?
Yes, at 440 MB/s, the G-RAID Studio 6TB can handle multiple HD streams from different sources, supporting multi-camera shoots and editing workflows.
What is the difference between 4K compressed and uncompressed workflows?
Compressed 4K uses codec-based reduction to lower file sizes, while uncompressed 4K stores full resolution data, requiring significantly more bandwidth and storage but enabling non-destructive editing.
How does direct-attached storage differ from network storage for video teams?
Direct-attached storage (DAS) provides dedicated bandwidth and lower latency than network storage, essential for real-time video editing. Network storage suits backup and shared access.
Is this storage suitable for long-form documentary or post-production?
Yes, the 6TB capacity and fast Thunderbolt 2 connection make the G-RAID Studio ideal for documentary editing and post-production facilities handling extended projects.
