G-Technology G-Speed Studio XL 48TB 8-Bay Thunderbolt 2 RAID Array (8 x 6TB)

The G-Speed Studio XL 48TB 8-Bay Thunderbolt 2 RAID Array from G-Technology features a hardware selectable RAID controller to offer capacity and performance for supporting multi-stream HD, 2K, 4K compressed workflows, and more. This array provides 8-bays with each one housing an Enterprise-class 6TB hard drive that can be configured for data transfer rates of up to 1350 MB/s under RAID 0. These drives are preconfigured in RAID 5 which offers 1175 MB/s data transfer rates along with one drive's worth of parity. They can be reconfigured in either RAID 0, 1, 6, 10, 50, and 60. A recommended balance between capacity, performance, and reliability is offered with RAID 50 and 60, which strips data in RAID 0 across multiple sets of either RAID 5 or 6. This drive is also built with Thunderbolt 2 technology that supports the fast transfer rates these drives can offer and allows daisy-chaining to additional Thunderbolt-enabled devices. Included along with the Studio XL are power and Thunderbolt cables.
