help G-Technology G-RAID Shuttle 2 (Thunderbolt) FAQ
What RAID configurations are supported by the G-Technology G-RAID Shuttle 2?
The G-RAID Shuttle 2 is a hardware RAID solution designed for high-redundancy, supporting RAID 0 for maximum speed and RAID 1 for mirrored data safety. In RAID 1, if one enterprise-class drive fails, your data remains completely accessible on the second drive.
Does the G-RAID Shuttle 2 come with Thunderbolt 3 cables included?
Yes, G-Technology includes the necessary Thunderbolt cables right out of the box, supporting both Thunderbolt 2 and Thunderbolt 3 depending on your specific model generation. This ensures high throughput connectivity directly to your Mac or Windows workstation.
Can I replace the hard drives in the G-RAID Shuttle 2 myself?
The drive bays feature a tool-less design, allowing you to easily hot-swap failing drives without sending the unit in for repair. This makes it a favorite among broadcast and post-production houses that cannot afford downtime.
Does the G-RAID Shuttle 2 require external power?
Yes, because it contains high-performance spinning enterprise hard drives, the G-RAID Shuttle 2 requires an external AC power adapter to operate. Unlike smaller portable SSDs, it cannot run solely on bus power from a single Thunderbolt cable.
