SanDisk Professional G-DRIVE PROJECT is a high-capacity desktop hard drive built for creators who move, edit and archive large volumes of footage, audio and project files every day. Inside the premium anodized aluminium enclosure sits a 7200RPM Ultrastar enterprise-class hard drive, chosen for long-term reliability and sustained performance on demanding workloads.

Product Q&A
Q: Does the G-DRIVE PROJECT work with a Mac?
A: Yes. The drive comes pre-formatted as APFS and supports macOS 11 or later, and it is Time Machine compatible. It connects through a Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) or USB-C port.
Q: Can I use it with a Windows PC?
A: Yes, with Windows 10 or later, but the drive must be reformatted first because it ships formatted as APFS. Reformatting erases any data on the drive, so do it before you copy files onto it.
Q: What is the PRO-BLADE SSD Mag slot for?
A: The slot on the front lets you offload, copy or edit content directly from a PRO-BLADE SSD Mag at high speed. The PRO-BLADE SSD Mag is sold separately and is not included in the box.
Q: How fast is each capacity?
A: Per the manufacturer, the 18TB, 22TB and 26TB models reach up to 260MB/s read and write. The 12TB and 8TB models reach up to 250MB/s read and write, and the 6TB model up to 250MB/s read and 240MB/s write. These figures are based on internal testing and can vary with the host device, usage conditions and drive capacity.
Q: What warranty does it come with, and what is in the box?
A: The G-DRIVE PROJECT has a 5-year limited warranty. In the box you get the drive, a Thunderbolt 3 cable, a power cable, a 19VDC power adapter and a quick start guide.
