G-Tech has announced a new family of external drives based on 2.5” solid state drive (SSD) technology – the G-DRIVE mini SSD (120GB and 250GB) and the RAID 0/1 G-RAID mini SSD (250GB and 500GB). These high-performance, plug-and-play storage devices are ideal for the film, television, and broadcasting users who capture, offload and edit digital content in challenging remote environments. Because the drives have no moving parts, each drive can withstand extreme shock up to 1500Gs and can endure higher altitudes, vibration and temperatures when compared to traditional hard drive-based solutions. Delightfully, these new drives also provide higher data transfer rates, lower seek times and use less power, all while delivering a cooler, quieter operation.
