RAID Arrays for Photography and Pro Video

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 16TB 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 7.68TB WD Ultrastar DC SN640 2.5″ NVMe U.2 SSDs, for a total capacity of 16TB. 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.

Ultra-Performance and Convenience for Production Workflows

While the base model Gemini is great for everyday content creators, you are worlds beyond ordinary. Your workflow is at the extreme edge of resolutions, codecs, and framerates. OWC understand your need to push into an other world of capability, and pros like you are the reason they created the Gemini Ultra. Powered by 6 x 2TB Aura P13 Pro NVMe SSDs, you’ll have the horsepower to handle the most demanding photography, video, and editing tasks you face. Edit ultra-high resolution files on the fly, ingest several media cards in parallel, render dailies without a hitch, and rip through 8K footage with transfer speeds of up to 2381 MB/s.

Beyond performance, with the Gemini Ultra’s seven connectivity ports, you will experience an incredible level of versatility. Use your favorite accessories and charge small mobile devices via two USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports. Daisy chain up to five Thunderbolt devices so that you can create additional backups. Offload media cards faster and easier with the frontside UHS-II slot or external card readers via Thunderbolt or USB-C. Transfer files and work up to 2.5x faster over wired networks and enjoy increased productivity when working with NAS devices with 2.5Gb/s Ethernet. Add an external monitor with up to 8K resolution via HDMI.

Plus, you’ll have all the advanced drive health monitoring benefits of SoftRAID so you can work worry free. You can also use SoftRAID to change to RAID 1 data protection with speeds up to 721 MB/s.

Ultra X2 Models
