SANDWICH SEAGATE HITACHI GST TO PRODUCE 4TB

The day after Seagate launched a 4TB outmost drive, Hitachi GST did just a same with a launch of a 4TB desktop whopper.

It gets curiouse–r in a PR/marketing clarity as Hitachi GST voiced it had a terabyte-per-platter product a day prior to Seagate suggested a 4TB product. Oddly Hitachi usually voiced a single-platter chronicle of a technology, storing up to 1TB, when it obviously had a genius to broach a 4TB product.

Now Hitachi has voiced a 4TB product, in a figure of a twin-drive, 8TB, G-RAID Thunderbolt outmost storage product privately for a Mac market. There will additionally be a 4TB G-DRIVE product. The drives inside have been 4TB ones spinning during 7,200rpm, and– a Thunderbolt interface enables interpretation send during up to 10Gbit/s. The accessible interfaces have been eSATA, FireWire 400 and– 800, USB 2.0, yet not USB 3.0, and– Thunderbolt.

The association says it does not use– a 1TB/platter technology, so there contingency be an unannounced Hitachi GST 4TB tough hoop expostulate inside, as if a Deskstar 7K4000, that could use– 5 platters any storing 800GB. There’s zero upon a Hitachi GST website about such a expostulate though.

The drives have been mounted inside an aluminium enclosing with a still air blower inside. It looks similar to a singular expostulate to Mac OS X and– can be reformatted to await Windows.

The G-RAID product is a top capacity, twin-drive RAID 0 complement accessible and– Hitachi GST says it can be a basement of a unstable modifying workstation when bending up to a MacBook Pro, and– use–rs can work with SD or HD video files. Hitachi GST says it can be use–d to hand–le multi-stream, dense HD workflows together with REDCODE, DVCPro HD, XDCAM HD and– ProRes 422.

To stir up video modifying professionals further, a association says each terabyte can hold:

84 hours of HDV 1080i;
17 hours of DVCPRO HD 1080/60i;
30 hours of 2K RED;
10 hours of ProRes 422 HQ;
10 hours of 10 bit SD; and–
2.5 hours of HD 1080/60i

Hitachi GST will boat a G-RAID and– G-DRIVE products – regulating a 4TB disks – with eSATA, FireWire 800 (FireWire 400 around cable) and– USB 2.0 ports in October. The Thunderbolt 4TB-based G-RAID and– G-DRIVE products will boat in a fourth entertain and– one more 4TB expostulate products can be approaching from Hitachi GST.
