“They’re light, they’re rugged; I can take them on location with me and they allow me to be location independent”
Equipped with up to 16TB of solid state storage running at a scorching fast 2800MB/s, the G-Speed Shuttle SSD device with Thunderbolt 3 technology lets you edit multi-camera footage in real time and quickly export with incredible efficiency. This in turn enables you to transfer your critical 4K, 8K, VR, high dynamic range (HDR) and high frame rate (HFR) footage in a single location. The device is also rugged and built for easy travel between your on-site production location and the studio for post-production, so you have powerful, transportable storage to improve your workflow efficiency, wherever you are. For maximum performance, the G-SPEED Shuttle SSD comes in RAID 5 out of the box and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50 to provide a versatile and flexible a Thunderbolt 3 connection to ensure the speed of transfer he required. Also on hand was the G-Technology G-Drive Mobile Pro, and the fact that he was working with the fastest drives on the market – both of them capable of up to 2800Mbps transfer speeds – was exactly what was required to make a 4K ProRes Raw workflow viable. “This means I can ingest my footage exceptionally quickly,” says David. “I also don’t have to worry about transcoding; even though it’s a Raw format I can drop it straight into my editing system and I can move backwards and forwards and play in real time, even add adjustments also in real time, and there’s absolutely no lag. “Moving to an SSD-based workflow does call for an investment, but it’s an investment in saving time. By saving the lag time in editing I get that investment back and it allows me to get on with my project, to turn it around very quickly and to move on to the next one. Working with a G-Technology SSD-based workflow has absolutely revolutionised the way I work.”

Meanwhile a protective aluminium core prevents overheating to maintain a high level of sustained performance, while a custom enclosure insulates the drive so that heat doesn’t transfer to the exterior of the device when in use.
storage solution, while Dual Thunderbolt 3 ports allow you to daisy chain up to five additional devices so you can stay connected to multiple drives, 4K displays and more, through a single connection. Sister product the G-Technology G-Drive Mobile Pro also offers transfer rates up to 2800MB/s, the maximum speed Thunderbolt 3 has to offer, so you can natively edit footage in real-time, or transfer as much as a terabyte of content in seven minutes or less. The device is also built for location work, offering shock- resistant storage in a durable case with three-metre drop protection, a 1000lb crush-proof rating, and designed with handpicked components to sustain the rigours of travel. The newest version of the Thunderbolt 3 port onboard provides a
