G-Technology, G-SPEED eS Pro XL, High-Performance Storage Solutions for SD and HD Production
High-Performance, Expandable Fail-Safe RAID Solutions for Uncompressed HD and 2K Production

The new G-SPEED eS Pro XL from G-Tech is a cost-effective, expandable storage solution designed for content creation professionals working with multi-stream uncompressed HD and 2K workflows, and digital intermediate (DI) film applications. G-SPEED eS Pro XL easily expands by simply daisy-chaining 12- or 16-bay enclosures using locking mini-SAS cables. Up to 32TB out of the box, the external RAID's (8) enclosures can be connected to the system for up to 192TB of incredibly fast online storage! It features the same IOP RAID controller used in the G-SPEED eS Pro XL system with (2) 12Gbit mini-SAS ports, RAID 0, 1, 3, 5, 6 and JBOD support, and performance over 800 MB/sec. A single 12-bay G-SPEED eS Pro XL can support real-time multi-stream 10-bit 1080/60i and 2K DPX workflows. Adding high-performance storage has never been so simple - or cost effective.
