SanDisk Professional has now revised its G-DRIVE Enterprise series of high-capacity external drives and introduced a ninth version. In addition to a new design, the new models now each have a USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface, which does not provide any speed advantage over the USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports of the previous models, however, since the theoretically possible 10 gbit/s (1,250 MB/s) transfer speed is by far not reached by the internal hard drives. In addition, the range has been expanded by two models with the particularly high storage capacities of 18 and 22 TB, which are slightly faster than the previous models. ![]() SanDisk Professional G-Drive
The fastest of the new G-DRIVE Enterprise-Class USB 3.2 Gen 2 models is the 22 TB model - it achieves both read and write speeds of 280 MB/s. The smaller models are only slightly slower at 270 MB/s (18 TB), 250 MB/s (12 TB, 6 TB and 4 TB models) respectively. In keeping with the Enterprise classification, the 7,200 rpm Enterprise models of Western Digital&s Ultrastar hard drive series, which are touted as particularly reliable, are used. ![]() SanDisk Professional G-Drive The stackable enclosure is made of rugged anodized aluminum and offers anchor points for attaching to a DIT cart, carrier plate or other equipment. The G-DRIVE Enterprise drives also feature customizable LED lighting with three brightness modes (Off, Standard and Bright), and they can be used immediately on macOS for Apple Time Machine backups, for example. Under Windows, the drives must first be reformatted for use. SanDisk Professional provides a 3-year warranty on the new drives.
