G-Technology crashes NAB with portable, Thunderbolt-equipped RAID arrays

The Thunderbolt goodness just keeps on rolling out at NAB. G-Technology just announced it will be adding support for the high-speed connection to its line of RAID devices for those who spend their days chopping up HD video. The first batch of products will hit in either Q3 or Q4 and start with the company’s smaller arrays in the four to eight-disc size. A prototype of a four-drive model can be seen in the photo above, which rep Pete Schlatter described to us as “the sweet spot” in terms of portability and storage. Sure, calling an eight drive array “portable” sounds like a stretch, but don’t forget: these are designed to be paired with laptops and carried people editing video on the go — you know, guys with giant cases of equipment and biceps to match.
