Frequently Asked Questions
How does 32TB capacity support long-term 4K video archival projects?
32TB accommodates weeks of 4K footage without intermediate archiving, ideal for long-form documentaries, broadcast series, and large-scale creative projects requiring continuous storage.
What throughput is required for real-time 4K workflow support?
At 700 MB/s, the G-SPEED Studio R 32TB supports compressed 4K editing and playback with minimal buffering, essential for professional UHD post-production.
How many simultaneous 4K streams can 700 MB/s sustain?
At 700 MB/s, the system typically handles one or two simultaneous 4K streams depending on compression, making it ideal for single-source 4K editing and archival.
Is RAID 5 better than RAID 1 for large-scale archival?
RAID 5 maximises usable capacity and provides single-drive fault tolerance, ideal for archival. RAID 1 adds redundancy but reduces capacity. Choose RAID 5 for large archives.
What is the advantage of daisy-chaining multiple arrays?
Daisy-chaining expands capacity and distributes workloads. You can split 4K footage across multiple arrays, accelerate ingest, and build scalable storage solutions for growing facilities.
Can a single G-SPEED Studio R 32TB serve an entire production department?
A single 32TB array suits many departments, but large facilities often deploy multiple units to distribute bandwidth, enable parallel workflows, and provide redundancy.
What is the installation timeline for high-capacity RAID systems?
Installation timelines depend on facility readiness and complexity. Contact Procure.ae to discuss commissioning and deployment planning.
Does Procure.ae offer consulting on 4K workflow storage architecture?
Procure.ae can discuss storage architecture recommendations for 4K workflows. Contact them to explore customised solutions for your production facility.
What is the total capacity and sustained speed?
The G-SPEED Studio R 32TB provides 32TB of storage with up to 700 MB/s sustained transfer rates for professional 4K workflows.
How many devices can be daisy-chained?
The dual Thunderbolt 2 ports support daisy-chaining up to six G-SPEED Studio R arrays for expanded storage and workflow flexibility.
Which RAID modes are available on this 32TB system?
The G-SPEED Studio R 32TB supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10 configurations for flexible deployment based on performance and redundancy needs.
