High-capacity Thunderbolt 3 desktop drive

The SanDisk Professional G-DRIVE Project provides 24TB of storage in a desktop form factor. It houses a 7200RPM Ultrastar enterprise-class hard drive rated for up to 260MB/s transfer speeds. The unit connects via a Thunderbolt 3 interface running at 40Gbps and remains compatible with USB at 10Gbps. It is built for creative professionals who need to back up and archive large project libraries.

Verify host ports and power requirements

Your computer must supply a Thunderbolt 3 or compatible USB port to reach the stated interface speeds. The drive is a desktop model that requires its own external power supply, so confirm you have a free mains socket near your workstation. No internal drive bays or motherboard headers are used, so case clearance and motherboard compatibility are not factors.

PRO-BLADE SSD Mag slot adds flexible SSD expansion

A front-mounted PRO-BLADE SSD Mag slot accepts compatible SSD Mags at up to 10Gbps, letting you add high-speed solid-state capacity without extra docks or cables. The SSD Mags are sold separately, so the base unit ships ready for hard-drive workflows only. Color-coded cable indicators help you match the correct Thunderbolt or USB lead at a glance.

Questions about this item

Does the 24TB G-DRIVE Project ship with a Thunderbolt 3 cable and power supply, or do I need to buy them separately?

The drive includes a Thunderbolt 3 cable and an external power adapter in the box, so no extra cables or power units are required for desktop use.

Should I choose the 24TB model or a smaller capacity for video editing workloads?

The 24TB version uses a 7200RPM Ultrastar enterprise drive delivering up to 260MB/s, giving the highest sustained throughput in the range for large timeline files.

What does the 260MB/s headline speed mean when the drive is connected over Thunderbolt 3?

The 260MB/s figure is the mechanical drive’s maximum sequential read and write rate; the 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 link has ample bandwidth so the drive itself remains the bottleneck.
