When it comes to storage performance and innovation, it feels like of the two powerhouses, Seagate’s LaCie and WD’s G-Tech, LaCie has been pushing the perimeter and delivering more strongly in recent times, but the new offerings from G-Tech are looking to change that.

Announced today at NAB, G-Technology is making a major play in the arena of SSDs, releasing 3 SSD models within the G-Drive and G-Speed lines, and all with Thunderbolt 3 capability.

As Western Digital puts it, these drives are all high-end units meant to meet the high demands of a full fledged 4K and 8K RAW video, and looking at the specs (and prices), we’d say that sounds very much in line.

The models are the G-DRIVE Mobile Pro SSD, the G-DRIVE Pro SSD, and the G-SPEED Shuttle SSD.

G-DRIVE Mobile Pro SSD

With storage running at 2800MB/s, the G-DRIVE mobile Pro SSD (Up to 1TB of capacity) lets you edit multi-stream 8K footage at full frame rate, quickly render projects and experience them at full resolution, and transfer as much as a terabyte of media in seven minutes or less (for capacities 1TB or larger) wherever you are. A durable, shock-resistant design uses specially engineered components to endure traveling, while a single Thunderbolt™ 3 port lets you instantly edit footage on the go with incredible speed without the need for wall power. An aluminum core prevents overheating and maintains a consistent high performance, and with a trusted 5-year limited warranty, you get durable, fast solutions.

All of this, however, comes at a price, and the G-DRIVE mobile Pro SSD with Thunderbolt 3 will arrive this summer in capacities of 500GB ($659.95) and 1TB ($1,049.95) USD.
