Capacity and interface

The SanDisk Professional G-DRIVE SDPHF1A-008T-NBAAD is an 8 TB desktop external hard drive built around a 7200 RPM Ultrastar enterprise-class mechanism. It connects via USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C for up to 10 Gbps link speed. Sequential read and write rates reach 260 MB/s. The anodised aluminium enclosure is stackable and includes anchor points for DIT carts or mounting plates. It suits creative professionals who need high-capacity, reliable storage for HD video, photo and music libraries.

Power and host requirements

The drive requires its supplied AC power adapter and cable for operation; it does not run from bus power alone. A host with a USB-C port supporting USB 3.2 Gen 2 is needed to achieve the stated 260 MB/s throughput. The unit ships pre-formatted for macOS and can be reformatted for Windows without extra software. LED brightness can be set to one of three modes. Builders without a USB-C port or an available mains socket cannot use this drive as intended.

Included cables and setup

The box contains a USB-C to USB-C cable, the AC power adapter with its power cable, and a quick start guide. The USB-C cable enables the 10 Gbps connection to compatible hosts. The power adapter allows the 7200 RPM mechanism to spin up and sustain performance. The quick start guide covers initial formatting choices for Mac or Windows. No additional software utilities or adapter cables are bundled.
