Hitachi-owned G-Technology has revealed information on an updated family of products that all have two things in common. All eight use Hitachi’s new 7200 RPM drives with 3 TB capacity, and they can connect to systems through Intel’s high-speed interface Thunderbolt.
G-Technology focuses on the high-end users with its storage solutions for video rendering and other heavy tasks where not only capacity but also speed is important. The company already has solutions for most budgets, with simpler entry level models sporting a single drive up to racks with 48TB capacity.
