SanDisk Professional G-RAID SHUTTLE 8 144TB external hard drive

SKU CH-G67A-DFQVH

An 8-bay hardware RAID array with Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C delivering up to 144TB capacity and 2000MB/s write speeds for multi-stream 4K, 8K and VR workflows

  • 8-bay hardware RAID consolidates massive 144TB capacity
  • Thunderbolt 3 interface delivers 40Gbps bandwidth for demanding workflows
  • Enterprise Ultrastar drives inside provide enhanced reliability for critical data
  • Supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 for flexible data protection
  • Up to 2000MB/s write and 1900MB/s read speeds accelerate video editing

8-bay hardware RAID for video workflows

The SanDisk Professional G-RAID SHUTTLE 8 is a transportable desktop external hard-drive array built for content professionals who need consolidated backup and real-time editing on location or in the studio. It houses eight Ultrastar enterprise-class drives in a single chassis.

Thunderbolt 3 40Gbps and USB-C 10Gbps interfaces

The single specification that decides fit is the dual-interface connectivity: Thunderbolt 3 at 40Gbps and USB-C at 10Gbps. This combination lets the unit plug into modern workstations and laptops without adapters while preserving the bandwidth needed for multi-stream 4K, 8K and VR pipelines.

144TB raw capacity with up to 2000MB/s write

The array delivers 144TB of raw storage and sustains transfer rates up to 1900MB/s read and 2000MB/s write across RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 modes. That headroom handles simultaneous high-bitrate ingest and timeline scrubbing; it runs out when a project demands more than eight drive bays or throughput beyond the 40Gbps link.

Questions about this item

How much usable space do I get from the 144TB headline figure once RAID is configured?

The 144TB is the raw total across eight Ultrastar enterprise-class drives; usable capacity depends on the RAID level you choose — RAID 0 gives the full 144TB, RAID 1 or 10 halves it, RAID 5 loses one drive, RAID 6 loses two, and nested levels 50 or 60 lose more.

What does the Thunderbolt 3 40Gbps interface actually cap in real transfers?

Thunderbolt 3 provides up to 40Gbps bandwidth, but the enclosure’s hardware RAID controller limits sustained throughput to 1900MB/s read and 2000MB/s write, so the interface headroom exceeds the drive array’s maximum speed.

What physical space and mounting does the 8-bay unit need on a desk or rack?

The transportable 8-bay chassis is designed for desktop or studio use; it houses eight 3.5-inch Ultrastar drives in a single enclosure that sits on a flat surface and connects via Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C cables — no separate rack rails or mounting brackets are included.
