Triple Interface
With FireWire 800, FireWire 400, and USB 2.0, the GT 062 can reach up to 84 MB/sec sustained transfer rate, when in RAID 0 mode over FireWire 800. With dual Seagate SATA drives under the hood, there's plenty of speed for apps like Final Cut Pro, Avid Xpress, and Adobe Premiere. The GT 062 is ideal for video editing, content creation, sound libraries and audio editing applications.
Configurable in Four Drive Modes
RAID 1 offers data redundancy and real-time backup by writing the same data to the two hard drives at the same time. Should a drive failure happen, data is still available on the remaining drive.
RAID 0 (striping) increases the performance of the drive system by spreading the data across two drives. RAID 0 is a proven technology for editing video, working with huge graphics files, sound libraries, and streaming instruments that play hundreds of samples simultaneously.
JBOD mode (individual volumes) is very well suited for audio production, and is the default shipping drive mode.
Spanning mode simply shows the two internal drives as one large volume.
Glyph Manager software
GT 062 ships with the Glyph Manager software, a utility for Mac OS X and Windows that configures the GT 062 in one of the four drive modes, and displays health status of the GT 062 drives. When configured in RAID 1 mode, Glyph Manager constantly monitors the health of the drives. When a problem is detected, Glyph Manager alerts the user by animating in the Mac OS X dock or displaying an error balloon from the Windows System Tray. Data can then be backed up before any is lost due to drive failure. The GT 062 combination of RAID 1 real-time backup and drive health monitoring provides the highest level of data security of any product in its class.
Stylish Protective Enclosure
The GT 062 is constructed with a scratch-resistant black powder-coated aluminum chassis, as well as a unique 1/8" thick brushed stainless steel face plate. The aluminum chassis offers additional heat transfer properties while allowing the drive to be lightweight and portable.
Professional Power
Professionals know that a high quality power supply is one of the most important components in any piece of equipment. Glyph uses internal power supplies in all GT series products for this reason. Not only that, but they are all fully auto-switching for international use.
Portable & Rackable
The GT 062 ships in a hard-shell plastic case, so transporting your 062 between sites can be stress-free knowing that your drive is protected. Also available are optional rack-mounting kits for either one or two drives in a 1U rackspace.
The Warranty
The best warranty in the industry includes a 3 Year Full Warranty, 2 Years of Free Level I Data Recovery, and 1 Year of Free Overnight Advance Replacement.
RAID modes for Audio Production
Our in-house testing has shown that, in an audio environment, the highest track count can be achieved in JBOD mode, which is the GT 062 default shipping mode. In JBOD mode, using our 48 KHz/24-bit test sessions, the GT 062 supported 80 tracks at edit level 1. In RAID 0 mode, the same test supported 78 tracks. At 96 KHz/24-bit, the GT 062 JBOD supported 62 tracks, while RAID 0 supported 50 tracks.
The GT 062 3TB must be configured in JBOD or RAID 1 mode for use with Pro Tools on a Power PC Mac. |
