With a total of 8TB of storage space, you can store up to 1.6 million Full HD photos or 22 hours of 4K footage.
Thanks to the 40Gbps speed of the Thunderbolt 3 connection, you can transfer data up to 2 times faster than via USB 3.1.
Thanks to the aluminum casing, this hard drive is well protected from fall damage and scratches.
The hard drive isn't powered via the USB cable, but via an extra power cord.
This hard drive doesn't have hardware encryption with password security.

Description

Safely store thousands of text files and spreadsheets on the SanDisk Professional G-DRIVE 8TB hard drive. With 8TB of storage space, you have enough space for large data analyses. This allows you to store up to 400,000 spreadsheets with data and graphs or up to 22 hours of 4K recordings. Use smaller files? You can store up to 1.6 million Full HD photos of 5MB each. Thanks to the sturdy aluminum casing, this hard drive can also take a hit, when it falls from your desk for example. The hard drive works with macOS 10.15 and Time Machine. Want to use the drive for Windows 10 or 11? You have to format the HDD again.

Does what it's supposed to do

Fast
Large storage
Beautiful design
quite loud

Futuristic look and large storage. Very satisfied. The noise production is such that I only keep it on during use. Partly because I keep it in my bedroom.
