Product Information

Overview

Transform Your Creative Workflow with OWC Gemini Thunderbolt 3 Dock & Dual Drive

Step into a world where efficiency meets versatility with the OWC Gemini Thunderbolt 3 Dock & Dual Drive. Armed with dual drive bays and a suite of seven connectivity ports, including a high-speed SD 4.0 card reader, the OWC Gemini is your ultimate digital ally. Seamlessly duplicate footage, manage vast archives, or render complex effects. Connect and charge your favourite peripherals with ease, while the frontside card reader effortlessly ingests your day's work from photography or drone captures.

Experience Unmatched Speed, Reliability, and Flexibility with Hardware RAID

Unlock the true potential of your data with the Gemini's advanced hardware RAID configuration. Pre-set in RAID 0 for peak performance, it delivers astonishing real-world speeds up to 497MB/s, perfect for managing HD and 4K video projects. Crave more security? Switch to RAID 1 for mirrored data protection. Need versatility? Opt for a span to merge the capacity of both drives, or set them as independent volumes for unparalleled flexibility in your creative projects.

Customise Your Drive for Every Project

The Gemini adapts as swiftly as your projects evolve. With its intuitive hardware RAID, choose from four setup options to match your immediate needs: Non-RAID for separate volumes, RAID 1 for data redundancy, RAID 0 for maximum performance, or Span for an expansive storage pool. Even after ejecting the drives, the Gemini's rich connectivity keeps your workflow smooth and uninterrupted.

Elevate Your Connectivity Beyond Conventional Limits

Step ahead with the Gemini's 1Gb Ethernet port, offering speeds that render Wi-Fi obsolete. Ideal for collaborative environments and heavy file transfers, this feature is a game-changer for professionals demanding efficiency and speed in their digital workflow.

Depend on Professional-Grade Reliability

At OWC, we understand the paramount importance of reliability for creative professionals. Each Gemini unit undergoes rigorous "burn-in" testing, ensuring it arrives ready to tackle the most demanding tasks straight out of the box. Trust in a solution that's not just built to perform, but to last.

Seamlessly Disconnect with a Single Click

Thanks to the bespoke OWC Dock Ejector software, safely disconnect your drives with a single click. Engineered by our own hardware and software specialists, the Dock Ejector guarantees all data is securely written before disconnection, safeguarding against data loss.
