Thunderbolt 3
Thunderbolt 3 is a hardware interface that utilizes the reversible USB Type-C connector. Doubling the speed of its predecessor, Thunderbolt 3 features a maximum throughput of 40 Gb/s when used with compatible devices. The connector also transmits data via USB 3.1 at up to 10 Gb/s, and dual-bandwidth DisplayPort 1.2 allows you to connect up to two 4K displays simultaneously. Additionally, you can daisy chain up to six devices from a single Thunderbolt 3 port.
Ideal Capacity for Demanding Workflows
With 8TB of high performance solid state storage, you'll always be able to transfer your critical 4K, 8K, VR, high dynamic range (HDR), and high frame rate (HFR) footage in a single location.
Transportable Design
Built for easy travel between your on-site production location and to the studio for post-production so you have powerful, transportable storage to help improve your workflow efficiency, wherever you are.
Sustained Transfer Rates of up to 2800 MB/s
Transfer rates of up to 2800 MB/s deliver incredible speed via Thunderbolt 3 so you can natively edit footage in real time, or transfer as much as a terabyte of content in seven minutes or less.
Optimized Support for Multi-Stream Workflows
Built for multi-stream 4K and 8K production workflows, the G-RAID Shuttle SSD offers the bandwidth to support multi-camera editing in real time, render footage with multi-layer effects, and quickly export in an efficient workflow.
