Flexible Thunderbolt 3 Solutions to Get the Job Done

With the Gemini, you’ll have plenty of room to duplicate footage, create and manage archives, or render and process effects. Connect your favorite peripherals via USB ports. Ingest the day’s shoot or drone footage with the frontside reader. Through a single-cable connection, you can find the flexibility you need to meet the challenges of a changing digital workflow.

Hardware RAID to protect you against drive failure

You can customize the Gemini to quickly adapt to project changes and help you stay ahead of deadlines. Install your choice of 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch HDDs or SSDs and even combine the speed of a SSD with the cost-effective storage capacity of a HDD. With built-in hardware RAID, you have four drive set-up choices:

Non-RAID to keep the drives as independent volumes
RAID 1 (mirror) for backup reliability
RAID 0 (stripe) for optimal performance and maximum speed or use
Span to combine the drive capacities into one huge volume for extra-large storage capacities

Done with the drives but need the connectivity? Use OWC's free utility to quickly and safely eject the RAID or any other disks attached to the Gemini.

Thunderbolt 2/Thunderbolt compatibility requires a certified and a Thunderbolt 2 cable (available separately). This configuration provides data transfer at up to 20Gb/s but does not support notebook charging.
Must be connected to host computer via Thunderbolt (USB-C), and cannot be used as a NAS. The Ethernet port provides the host computer with a 2.5GbE network connection over Thunderbolt (USB-C), but it cannot be used to access the drives over the network.
Requires 2.5Gb/s Ethernet compatible hardware components and cabling (Cat 5e cable minimum, Cat 6 or later strongly recommended).
OWC ShuttleOne 1 x NVMe M.2 and U2 Shuttle 4 x NVMe M.2 to 2.5-inch U.2 SSD Adapters sold separately.
