Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. Is the drive 2x4tb or 2x2tb?
A: It is pre-configured as RAID 0, therefore it has 2x 2TB drives. RAID 0 is not redundant, therefore you do not lose any drive capacity. If this were pre-configured as a RAID 1 and still said 4TB G-RAID , it would be 2x4TB since the 2 drives would mirror each other, giving you a total of 4TB usable space.
Q: 2. Where's the fan sound? Ive been using this unit for 3 days and feels a little hot, but the fan doesnt start. Also I connected my 2nd display to the TB port of this unit and doesn't work... Am I missing something?
A: Just turned on my 8TB G-RAID TB. There is a startup sound, then it has only a very faint sound, which I assume is the fan but I'm not really sure. I searched the G-Tech support pages but couldn't find anything specific to the G-RAID fan. There was something about another model, G-Safe, having a fan that only comes on when the drive overheats. But I don't know if that applies to the G-RAID too. I have a vague memory that my drive case sometimes feels a little warm and maybe reading somewhere that that's OK. But if yours feels really hot, you might want to just return it and ask to exchange it for another one. Also, do you have at least 4 inches of free space around all sides of the drive? I think that's supposed to be especially important in the rear, in terms of good ventilation.
Q: 3. What's in the box says it comes with a thunderbolt cable, but two reviewers said it does not include the cable. Is there a thunderbolt cable included?
A: Yes mine did the 8 TB version
Q: 4. How can I use this drive on a computer that only has USB and Firewire connections?
A: You cannot. It will only work on a computer that supports Thunderbolt, or Thunderbolt 2.
Q: 5. can you reformat from raid 0 to raid 1?
A: This G-RAID can not be configured to RAID 1.
Q: 6. warrentee?
A: This comes with a manufacturers limited 3-Year Warranty.
Q: 7. What are the differences between this unit and a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1123837-REG/g_technology_0g04085_g_raid_thunderbolt_2_usb_3_0.html target= _blank http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1123837-REG/g_technology_0g04085_g_raid_thunderbolt_2_usb_3_0.html/a ? Enterprise drives? Is that why the speeds are faster on the more expensive model?
A: Hi, the first one you mention has Thunderbolt 1 ports, and is configured as a software RAID.The link to the removable unit, this is a newer product with Thunderbolt 2 ports, utilizes a hardware RAID, and the drives are actually removeable.
Q: 8. What is the limitation in the hardware that prohibits RAID 1 configurations in Disk Utility on the Mac?
A: The RAID hardware only allows for RAID 0 configuration. You do have the option to Erase the contents of the G-RAID partition in disk utility and reformat the drive to be used as a regular drive without any RAID.
Q: 9. What cartridges does this use?
A: This model uses the following cartridge media: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?sts=ma&fct=fct_category%7carchiving_media_22445&N=0&Ntt=rdx%20tape
Q: 10. Several reviews state this G-Tech 4TB G-Raid doesn't come with a Thunderbolt cable. However, the In The Box tab in this listing states a cable is included. I will be using this with an iMac 27 . Can you please verify this for me? Thank you.
A: Yes, the G-RAID comes with the long thunderbolt cable and many others cables as well.
