About this product
The SanDisk Professional 12TB G-DRIVE is an enterprise-class desktop hard drive built for photographers, videographers and content creators who need dependable, high-capacity storage on the desk. Inside the stackable, anodised all-aluminium enclosure sits a 7200RPM Ultrastar® drive delivering transfer speeds of up to 250MB/s read and 250MB/s write over a USB-C (10Gbps) interface — fast enough to back up multi-camera 4K and 8K projects, large RAW photo libraries and audio sessions without slowing your workflow.
Pre-formatted APFS for macOS and Time Machine compatible out of the box, the G-DRIVE is also easily reformatted for Windows. Anchor points on the chassis let you mount it to a DIT cart, rack plate or rig for on-set production work, while three LED brightness modes (including off) keep it unobtrusive in a studio or edit suite. AC powered, cool and quiet in operation, and backed by a 5-year limited manufacturer warranty.
