Product Overview
The OWC Gemini is your all-in-one solution for managing digital workflows, featuring dual drive bays and seven connectivity ports, including an SD 4.0 (UHS-II) card reader. It's perfect for duplicating footage, managing archives, and processing effects, with options to connect peripherals via USB and quickly ingest media with the frontside reader.
Utilizing hardware RAID, the Gemini optimizes the performance of two 3.5-inch 7200RPM hard drives or 2.5-inch SATA SSDs. In RAID 0, it delivers speeds up to 562MB/s, ideal for 4K video, audio editing, and photography. For higher performance, use RAID 0 with OWC Mercury Extreme SSDs to achieve speeds up to 956MB/s, handling 8K video, 4K multi-sequences, and ultra-high-resolution RAW images effortlessly.
For added data security, configure the Gemini in RAID 1 for mirrored data. Alternatively, use a span configuration to combine drive capacities into a single large volume or manage the drives as independent volumes for flexible storage options.
