Designed to handle demanding photography, video, and editing tasks, including 8K and 6K multi-cam sequences using advances 10 and 12-bit codecs, high framerate footage, and ultra-high resolution raw images, the 8TB Gemini Ultra X2 Thunderbolt 3 RAID Array and Docking Station from OWC / Other World Computing lets users edit ultra-high resolution files on the fly, ingest several media cards in parallel, render dailies, and more. Compatible with Windows and Mac, the Gemini Ultra X2 connects to your host system using a 40 Gb/s Thunderbolt 3 port, while a second Thunderbolt 3 port may be used to create a daisy-chain with up to five additional devices, charge compatible devices with up to 27W of power, or connect one 8K/60 Hz or one 4K/120 Hz display. Other available ports include two USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports, a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port, a HDMI 2.1 port that supports 8K/120 Hz, and a UHS-II SD/SDHC/SDXC card reader.
The Gemini Ultra X2 has two drive bays that support both 2.5" and 3.5" SATA drives, 2.5" and 3.5" U.2 drives, and NVMe M.2 drives using a U.2 adapter. This model is configured with 2 x 4TB WD Ultrastar DC SN630 2.5" NVMe U.2 SSDs, for a total capacity of 8TB. The system comes preconfigured as software-controlled RAID 0, which provides enhanced performance with read speeds of up to 1446 MB/s and write speeds of up to 1350 MB/s. However, it may also be reconfigured as RAID 1, for 1:1 data redundancy, or JBOD, which lets you use each drive independently. Operations are kept cool using an aluminum enclosure with a 3000 rpm cooling fan.
