G-Technology has announced a new high-performance external G-RAID twin-drive storage system aimed at video professionals. Available in 8TB, 12TB and 16TB versions, the G-RAID with Thunderbolt 2 and USB 3.0 delivers transfer rates of up to 440MB/s, enough to handle multi-stream HD, 2K and compressed 4K video …

Both 7200rpm enterprise-class drives are removeable, and the built-in RAID controller offers a choice of RAID 0 for maximum speed or RAID 1 for the security of mirrored data.

As you’d expect from G-Technology, the enclosures are all-aluminum, and use quiet cooling fans.

Pricing is surprisingly reasonable for what you’re getting, starting at $800 for 8TB, through $1000 for 12TB to $1300 for 16TB. A slightly cheaper version is available without Thunderbolt. The G-RAID system will be available in March.

If you don’t need that kind of performance but still want the pro-grade drives and cool styling, check out our review of the company’s G-Drive USB drive.
