Four-bay modular SSD enclosure

The SanDisk PRO-BLADE STATION is a diskless desktop enclosure that accepts up to four PRO-BLADE SSD mags. It is built for creative professionals who need to edit, copy and move massive data sets quickly. Flow-through active ventilation keeps the mags cool during sustained high-speed transfers. Load-bearing mounting points allow the unit to be secured to a custom rig.

Thunderbolt 3 host connection required

Your computer must provide a Thunderbolt 3 port capable of 40Gbps to reach the stated 3000MB/s read and 2600MB/s write speeds. A USB-C port limited to 10Gbps will work but will not deliver the peak throughput. Verify that your operating system supports Thunderbolt 3 storage devices before ordering.

Four mag slots enable simultaneous ingest

The four hot-swappable bays let you ingest from or write to multiple PRO-BLADE SSD mags at the same time. This modularity means you can tailor capacity to each project without rebuilding the enclosure. Mags can also be moved between this station and a PRO-BLADE TRANSPORT portable enclosure to avoid downtime.

Questions about this item

Does the SanDisk PRO-BLADE STATION ship with any PRO-BLADE SSD mags, or must they be purchased separately?

The station is sold diskless; the four mag slots accept SanDisk PRO-BLADE SSD mags which are sold separately.

How do I decide which Thunderbolt 3 host connection to use for the 40Gbps link?

Connect the station to a Thunderbolt 3 port on your computer using a certified Thunderbolt 3 cable to enable the full 40Gbps bandwidth.

Will I see the full 3000MB/s read and 2600MB/s write speeds with a single mag installed?

The quoted speeds are maximum aggregate throughput across all four slots; actual per-mag performance depends on the specific PRO-BLADE SSD mag used and the host system.
