G-Drive G-RAID Project 2 – 52TB – Product Overview
The Western Digital G-RAID PROJECT 2 52TB is a 2-bay enterprise-class desktop storage system for high-resolution media, large project libraries, backup and content retrieval.
Two Ultrastar Enterprise-Class Drives
The enclosure contains two 7200rpm Ultrastar hard drives, providing the mechanical storage foundation for sustained professional workflows.
Hardware RAID Without Software Setup

Capacity-Specific Performance
The 52TB model is rated for sequential performance up to 520MB/s read and 510MB/s write. Actual performance varies with RAID mode, host hardware, workload and operating conditions.
Professional Desktop Storage
