Overview
Video editors and photographers who juggle huge projects get the SanDisk Professional G-RAID Project, a two bay desktop system preconfigured as a striped array for speed. A built in Pro-Blade SSD Mag slot offloads and edits camera media, and Thunderbolt connects it to a Mac, PC or USB-C iPad.
Choose it for large, fast project storage with an SSD mag dock built in. The striped setup spreads data across both drives for speed, so a single drive failure can lose everything; keep a backup elsewhere.
Who it's for
Creative studios handling high resolution and VR footage get capacity, speed and media offload in one unit. Anyone storing a single irreplaceable copy should choose a mirrored setup.
Pros and cons
- Built-in Pro-Blade SSD Mag slot
- Thunderbolt daisy chaining
- Works with USB-C iPads
- Preconfigured and ready to use
- RAID 0 has no redundancy
- Bundle contents unclear in the listing
- Heavy desktop unit
Performance notes
Speed comes from the striped array reading and writing across both hard drives at once for the listed sequential rate. Thunderbolt carries that throughput to the computer and passes it to other devices in a chain, while the SSD mag slot handles camera media at high speed.
