G-RAID Project 2 16TB desktop storage

The SanDisk Professional G-RAID Project 2 is a 16TB desktop external hard drive pre-configured in RAID 0. It uses two 7200RPM Ultrastar enterprise-class drives for high-throughput workloads. A Thunderbolt 3 interface enables fast transfers and daisy-chaining up to five additional devices. The unit includes a Pro-Blade SSD Mag slot for direct offload and editing.

Suited for 4K 8K VR video workflows

Creative professionals handling 4K, 8K and VR video projects will benefit from the sustained 480MB/s read and write speeds. The Pro-Blade SSD Mag slot streamlines on-set offload and editing without extra adapters. Users who require data redundancy or RAID 1 protection should look elsewhere, as the drive ships in RAID 0 only. Buyers needing a portable bus-powered solution should also consider other form factors.

16TB capacity with RAID 0 speed

The 16TB raw capacity delivers large volume headroom for multi-camera timelines and high-resolution assets. RAID 0 striping across both enterprise drives provides the 480MB/s throughput needed for smooth playback and render scratch. The Thunderbolt 3 link sustains that bandwidth while leaving ports free for daisy-chained monitors or arrays. Workloads that exceed single-drive fault tolerance will need a separate backup strategy.
