NAB 2017: G-Tech EV Series Updates

I stopped by the G-Tech booth, where Matt Bennion showed me their latest update to the EV Series G-Speed Shuttle XL.

The G-Speed Shuttle XL is now available with Thunderbolt 3 connectivity, allowing for up to 1500MB/s transfer rates. The Shuttle XL is an 8-bay RAID enclosure which, by default, is configured with with six hard drives and two EV bays. The EV bays can be populated with any EV compatible accessory, like the RED Mini-Mag reader Matt shows us, as well as Atomos Master Caddies and SSD drives.

This product will help DITs to manage offloading footage and creating backups without a confusing array of readers and a mess of cabled drives. The G-Speed Shuttle XL is compatible with all of the latest offload software, such as ShotPut Pro, Silverstack and Hedge, but footage can also easily be dragged onto the drives in a more plug-and-play sense, however, you will not have the benefit of a checksummed or monitored copy.

Other projects consider the backing up of original data onto additional hard drives as their archive. These, however, do not utilize the organizational and long-term advantages of a proper archival system.
