StudioDaily is reporting live at NAB 2017 and featuring “Off the Beaten Path” posts. Take a look at their round-up for day three, featuring G-Tech’s new G-SPEED Shuttle XL with Thunderbolt 3 technology.
G–Technology (SL3824), a Western Digital company, has launched new Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C connectivity technologies at NAB 2017. Built for creative professionals, including videographers and digital photographers, who require storage solutions that keep up with their intensive data needs and creative applications, G–Technology’s upgraded devices offer complete, high-capacity workflow solutions that seamlessly integrate into the larger Thunderbolt 3 ecosystem.
2500 megabytes per second drives. Dual 4K displays. External PCIe system expansion. Thunderbolt is no longer just a faster kind of Firewire. It’s a complete desktop ecosystem.
In the world of computing there have traditionally been three main gateways for data going into and out of a PC: a network connection, a storage connection, and a display port. (Forgive a little oversimplification here.) But at the end of the day, it’s all just data, so why have different pipes? That’s the rationale behind Thunderbolt 3’s unified interface architecture.
Hopefully, we caught your attention with our last couple of posts about next-generation Thunderbolt 3. What we didn’t mention was that the new technology for your storage and display devices will not be plug-compatible with your first- and second-generation Thunderbolt gear.
