By Adam Noyes
The G-Technology G-Drive is a great 14TB Thunderbolt 3 solution for your video editing workflow. As we are huge fans of this solution, we wanted to share this article from tweaktown.com covering this drive.
G-Technology operates in a similar market space as LaCie and CalDigit, offering data and storage solutions for creative professionals. The G-DRIVE is the base of the desktop portfolio and includes several models with connectivity options that include USB 3.2 and Thunderbolt 2 and 3.
The model in house is at the top end for capacity, offering 14TB in a single 3.5″ desktop form factor. Connectivity options include USB-C with a 5Gbps backbone and Thunderbolt 3 with 20Gbps. On the Thunderbolt side, you can daisy chain up to five additional devices.
The G-DRIVE packs in a 7200RPM enterprise-class HDD (a Helium-based solution from HGST) with marketing performance offering 250 MB/s read and write. The G-DRIVE is plug and play ready for macOS systems, but easily formatted for use with Windows platforms. The MSRP of the 14TB G-Technology G-DRIVE with TB3 comes in at $649.99 with a five-year warranty.
