Enterprise Storage for Creatives

The SanDisk Professional G-DRIVE delivers 6TB of capacity powered by a 7200RPM Ultrastar enterprise-class hard drive. It connects via USB-C with a 10Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface, enabling sustained transfer speeds up to 250MB/s read and write. The anodized aluminium enclosure provides durability and passive cooling for demanding desktop workloads.

Suited For / Not Suited

This drive suits creative professionals handling large HD video, photo, and music libraries who need fast, reliable desktop storage with Mac-ready formatting. It is not suited for users requiring portable bus-powered operation, ruggedised shock resistance for field use, or internal bare-drive installation in a workstation or server chassis.

The Deciding Spec

The 7200RPM Ultrastar enterprise-class mechanism sets this unit apart from typical desktop externals that use slower consumer drives. This spindle speed sustains the 250MB/s throughput needed for real-time multi-stream editing and heavy asset ingest. If your workflow demands that sustained performance, this is the right part; if you only need archival capacity, a slower drive will cost less.

Questions about this item

What type of power connection does the 6TB G-DRIVE require to operate?

The drive is a desktop external hard drive, so it requires an external power adapter to run the 7200RPM Ultrastar mechanism inside the aluminium enclosure.

Which cable do I plug into the USB-C port on the G-DRIVE for the 10Gbps link?

Use the supplied USB-C cable and connect it to a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C host port; the drive is pre-formatted for Mac and mounts without extra software.

Will the internal 7200RPM Ultrastar drive need to be swapped out after a certain period?

The Ultrastar enterprise-class drive is sealed inside the enclosure and is not user-replaceable; the unit is designed to run continuously without scheduled drive swaps.
