The SanDisk Professional G-DRIVE is an external desktop hard drive that provides 8 TB of storage capacity. Internally, it is equipped with an enterprise-class 7200 RPM Ultrastar drive, engineered for reliability and sustained performance in demanding workflows. Connectivity is handled by a USB-C port supporting the USB 3.2 Gen 2 protocol, which delivers transfer speeds up to 280 MB/s. This performance level is suitable for efficiently backing up, accessing, and editing large files such as high-resolution video, extensive photo libraries, and music collections.
The drive is housed in a durable, anodized aluminum enclosure designed for effective heat dissipation. As a 3.5-inch desktop unit, it operates using an external AC power adapter, which is included. The drive comes pre-formatted for macOS systems (10.15 and later) and is compatible with Windows 10 and 11 after a reformat. It features a power indicator with three adjustable brightness levels and includes a Kensington-style security slot for physical security in a shared environment.
