Frequently Asked Questions
How does 700 MB/s support simultaneous multi-camera HD editing?
At 700 MB/s, the G-SPEED Studio R 12TB handles multiple HD video streams simultaneously, enabling real-time editing of footage from multiple cameras without rendering delays.
What is daisy-chaining and how does it expand storage capacity?
Daisy-chaining connects multiple Thunderbolt devices in series using dual ports. The G-SPEED Studio R supports up to six devices chained together, expanding total capacity for large projects.
When would I choose RAID 5 over RAID 0 for photo or video?
Choose RAID 0 for maximum speed in performance-critical real-time editing. Choose RAID 5 for production environments where data protection against drive failure matters more than raw speed.
Can Mac and Windows systems use the same RAID array?
Yes, the G-SPEED Studio R with hardware RAID supports both Mac and Windows systems, allowing cross-platform sharing of storage within a single RAID array.
What is the benefit of 4-bay design for growing production teams?
Four bays provide capacity growth and redundancy flexibility. Teams can start with smaller configurations and expand drives as project demands grow, without replacing the entire enclosure.
How does Thunderbolt 2 speed compare to USB storage?
Thunderbolt 2 delivers significantly higher bandwidth and lower latency than USB, making it essential for real-time HD and 4K video work where sustained performance matters.
