12TB Thunderbolt 3 Desktop Drive

The SanDisk Professional G-DRIVE PROJECT is a 12TB desktop external hard drive built around a 7200 RPM enterprise-class mechanism. It connects through two Thunderbolt 3 ports and includes a Thunderbolt 3 cable and AC adapter. The aluminium enclosure adds durability for studio or office use.

Suits single-volume workflows.

Creative professionals who need one large, fast volume for video, photo or audio libraries will benefit from the 250 MB/s sequential speeds and the integrated PRO-BLADE SSD Mag slot for quick SSD cartridge access. Buyers who require hardware RAID redundancy, multi-bay expansion or portable bus-powered operation should consider other form factors.

12TB capacity decides fit

The single specification that determines suitability is the 12TB raw capacity. If your active project library fits comfortably within this space with headroom for growth, the drive matches the requirement; if you need significantly more or less space, a different capacity model is appropriate.

Questions about this item

Does the 12TB G-DRIVE PROJECT include the AC adapter and Thunderbolt 3 cable needed for desktop operation?

Yes, the box contains both an AC adapter and a Thunderbolt 3 cable so the drive can be powered and connected immediately.

What is the correct order for connecting the Thunderbolt 3 cable and AC adapter during first setup?

Plug the AC adapter into the drive and mains power first, then connect the Thunderbolt 3 cable to the computer; reversing this order may prevent the drive from mounting.

Can the internal 7200 RPM enterprise-class drive be replaced if it fails after the warranty period?

The aluminum enclosure is not designed for user servicing, so drive replacement requires professional data-recovery or repair services.
