G-Technology to use Thunderbolt in future storage solutions

[hsakarp_kahtap]

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.
G-Technology has also confirmed that it will roll out new storage units that will use Intel's Thunderbolt interface where it will use dual data channels at 10 gigabit per sekund each, especially in system where it uses different kinds of RAID configurations.
The new solutions will be shown by G-Technology at NAB 2011.

Thank you Prakash, always good to hear what is happening in the hardware field, apart from Intels offering of Thunderbolt there are now 3TB hard drives, i read in a pc magazine a few years back when they where talking about the introduction of one TB and what amount do we think is enough, at the moment my pc could hold 24 TB plus SSD's... ok so that bit is way overkill
