SanDisk Professional 12TB G Drive Project - External Hard Drive, Thunderbolt 3, USB (10Gbps), 7200RPM Ultrastar Hard Drive, Read Up to 250MB/s - SDPHG1H-012T-NBAAD

This drive is a beast. I bought it to consolidate scattered backups and media files from years of work — and it handled everything with room to spare. Speeds are consistent even under heavy loads, and Thunderbolt 3 makes a real difference. It’s quiet, cool, and built like a tank. Perfect for large video files, raw images, and project archives. Not cheap, but if you value reliability and capacity, it’s worth every cent. Great choice for professionals who don’t want to mess around with flaky storage.

The G Drives (HDD) are great thank you. They are different (G Drives) to the ones available in my city as they have an extra USBc outlet that allows other devices to connect (piggybacking) to the same system.

The device was easy to plug in, and offered me right away (on my Mac) the 12 TB of Sorge I needed. I used it for a Carbon Copy Cloner target, and that worked great, and I had been using another 10 TB drive as a Time Machine drive backup medium, so now with twi G-drives (10TB + 12TB) I am fully backed-up and protected. This is a good company, with good products that I fully endorse!

My purchase was for the G-Drive PRO, which is a mechanical hard drive, not an SSD. There are some reviews for this drive on Amazon that say the speeds are terrible. Do not listen to them. They do not understand that this is NOT an SSD, it is an enterprise class SATA mechanical hard drive in a TB3 case. The bottleneck here is the mechanical hard drive. There are people complaining that this is not a "40gb capable drive". This is laughable pure ignorance of the technology and what they purchased. The mechanical hard drive inside is NOWHERE near capable of 40gb speeds. If you need huge mass storage the G-Drive PRO is an excellent drive. If you need the absolute fastest speeds then you should buy the SSD version. Just do your research to understand the technology you are buying.
