Sony India has expanded its professional media lineup with the introduction of two new G Series Professional Solid-State Drives (SSDs) in 960GB (SV-GS96) and 480GB (SV-GS48) capacities. These SSDs are designed to cater the upward trend for reliable, external video recording devices docked to camcorders or high-performance DSLRs.
Sony’s G Series SSDs delivers optimal performance for several popular professional video recording devices, while offering a far longer lifetime.
The SSDs are a solid option for respective video recorders, offering videographers stable high-speed capabilities, a sense of security and lower cost of ownership due to their longer life.
Using Sony’s Error Correction Code technology, the 960GB G Series SSD achieves up to 2400 TBW (terabytes written), while the 460GB drive can reach 1200 TBW, resulting in less- frequent replacement and increased RoI. 2400 TBW translates to about 10 years of use for the SV-GS96, if data is fully written to the drive and average of five times per week.
The drives are designed for ultra-fast, stable data writing. While other SSDs have a tendency for data write speeds to suddenly drop after repeated rewrite cycles, Sony G Series SSDs feature built-in technology preventing sudden speed decreases, while ensuring stable recording of high bitrate 4K video without frame dropping.
When paired with the necessary connection cables, the new G Series drives can be effortlessly removed from a recorder and connected to a computer for file downloading, making editing easier and faster with read speeds up to 550MB/s.
G Series SSDs offer data protection technology that keeps content secure and intact, even if a sudden power failure occurs. Adding to the drive’s stability, it features a durable connector which withstands extreme repeated insertion and removal up to 3,000 times – or 6 times more tolerance than standard SATA connectors – even in harsh conditions.
Sony’s SSD G Series will be available across all Sony Center and major electronic stores across India. The drives would be accompanied with 10 years of Warranty.
