24 TB RAID enclosure for 4K and VR workflows

The SanDisk Professional G-RAID PROJECT 2 is a two-bay desktop drive delivering 24 TB of pre-configured RAID 0 storage. It targets creative professionals who need high-capacity, high-throughput external storage for 4K, 8K and VR video projects. Enterprise-class 7200 RPM Ultrastar drives provide the reliability required for mission-critical content workloads.

Thunderbolt 3 bandwidth limits sustained throughput

The Thunderbolt 3 interface caps real-world transfer rates below the theoretical maximum of the port. Sequential reads reach up to 540 MB/s and writes up to 490 MB/s on the 48 TB model, so the 24 TB unit will not exceed those figures. The connection also restricts daisy-chaining options compared with newer Thunderbolt versions.

Desktop installation with a proprietary SSD slot

The enclosure arrives pre-configured in RAID 0, so no initial array setup is required for basic use. The integrated PRO-BLADE SSD Mag slot accepts only compatible SanDisk Professional mags, limiting offload flexibility if you use other SSD formats. Drive replacement demands matching enterprise-class 3.5-inch units to maintain performance and vibration tolerance.

Questions about this item

How do I choose between the 24TB and 48TB versions?

The 24TB model provides half the raw capacity of the 48TB model; both use two 7200RPM Ultrastar drives in a hardware RAID 0 array and share the same Thunderbolt 3 interface.

What do the 540MB/s read and 490MB/s write figures mean when the unit is connected to my workstation?

Those are the maximum sequential throughput numbers quoted for the 48TB model over Thunderbolt 3; the 24TB model will deliver lower but comparable real-world speeds for large video files.

What does the Thunderbolt 3 connection cap in practice?

Thunderbolt 3 caps the interface at 40Gb/s, so sustained transfer rates are limited by the dual 7200RPM drives and RAID 0 overhead rather than the cable itself.
