1 Beyond Announces Data Protected Laptop Optimised for HD Video and Graphics Production (19/10/2007)

First ever laptop to support RAID level 5 protection with up to 600GB of high performance internal storage fully protecting programs and data

1 Beyond(tm), Inc., a leading provider of digital video editing and compositing systems, today announced 1 Beyond GoFlex317(tm) HD, the industry's first laptop capable of hardware RAID 5 protection with High Definition level performance.

Available now for $6995 for a fully featured system, the GoFlex317 HD is ideal for broadcasters and post-production crews working remotely with the latest HD formats who cannot afford to lose data but need the agility of a laptop solution. Since RAID 5 requires a hardware controller, and a minimum of 3 drives, this configuration has previously been unavailable in a laptop. Available with Intel Core 2 Duo or Extreme Edition processors with up to 2.93Ghz, the latest NVIDIA GeForce Go 7950 GTX PCI-Express video card with 512MB and up to 600 GB of high-performance storage, the 1 Beyond GoFlex317 HD is superior in capabilities to many desktop workstations.

Certified with the new Adobe Creative Suite 3, Avid Xpress Pro with Mojo, Grass Valley / Canopus Edius, the GoFlex317 HD laptop is ideal for mission critical production work where redundant storage is required and portability is desired. Whether it is an Avid Media Composer, Autodesk 3ds Max, or Adobe After Effects, the GoFlex317 HD laptop handles demanding graphics applications with the ease. "For many time-critical productions, data security and speed have only been available on desktop systems. For the first time, a portable laptop solution exists that addresses the robust storage requirements and performance needs of these crews who want to be agile and require portability to stay where the action is. The GoFlex317 HD is simply the most powerful laptop currently available with its unique combination of speed and data reliability," says Terry Cullen, 1 Beyond's CEO and Founder.
