48TB 8-bay hardware RAID array

The SanDisk Professional G-RAID Shuttle 8 delivers 48TB of storage across eight removable 7200 RPM enterprise-class drives in a transportable desktop enclosure. It connects via a single Thunderbolt 3 port at 40Gbps and a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port at 10Gbps. Hardware RAID supports levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for flexible redundancy or speed. The unit ships formatted for Mac OS 10.12+ and works with Windows 10 or Windows 7 after reformatting.

Creative professionals needing high-capacity RAID

This system suits video editors and studios handling multi-stream 4K, 8K and VR workflows that demand sustained throughput up to 1900MB/s read and 2000MB/s write. The eight-bay hardware RAID engine provides real-time redundancy without host CPU overhead. It is not suited for users who need a silent solid-state device or a single-drive unit for simple file storage. The 25.11lb weight and 15.16-inch depth require a stable desk or rack space.

Hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60

The defining specification is the onboard RAID controller supporting seven RAID levels including nested 50 and 60 configurations. This hardware implementation handles parity calculations independently of the workstation, enabling sustained multi-stream ingest and real-time editing directly from the array. Buyers must confirm their host provides a Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C 10Gbps port to utilise the stated bandwidth.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the G-RAID Shuttle 8 is delivering the advertised 1900MB/s read speed after setup?

Run a benchmark tool such as Blackmagic Disk Speed Test over the Thunderbolt 3 connection; sustained reads near 1900MB/s indicate the hardware RAID is functioning correctly.

What ships with the 48TB unit and what must I source myself?

The box includes the 8-bay enclosure, eight removable 7200 RPM drive modules, a 40 Gbps Thunderbolt 3 cable and a power cord; no additional drives or cables are required.

Which RAID level should I select on this 48TB system for video editing versus backup?

Choose RAID 0 or 50 for maximum throughput during 4K/8K editing, and RAID 1, 5, 6 or 60 when redundancy is the priority for backup workloads.
