The SanDisk Professional G-RAID Mirror 48TB represents the pinnacle of professional-grade storage solutions, specifically engineered for creative professionals who cannot afford to lose their valuable data.
This robust storage array houses two 24TB 7200RPM Ultrastar enterprise-class hard drives in a sleek, durable aluminum enclosure, providing both substantial capacity and exceptional reliability for mission-critical content.
Configured by default in RAID 1 (Mirroring) mode, the G-RAID Mirror automatically creates and maintains identical copies of your data across both drives, ensuring that your work remains protected even if one drive fails.
Advanced Connectivity Options
The G-RAID Mirror features a high-performance Thunderbolt 3 interface that delivers blazing-fast 40Gbps theoretical bandwidth, enabling transfer speeds of up to 260MB/s read and 250MB/s write in RAID 1 configuration.
Dual Thunderbolt 3 ports allow you to daisy-chain up to five additional devices, such as extra storage drives or 4K monitors, significantly enhancing your workflow capabilities without requiring additional computer ports.
For broader compatibility, the device also supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) connectivity, ensuring versatile use across various systems and setups.
Flexible RAID Configuration
While the G-RAID Mirror ships in RAID 1 mode for maximum data protection, its hardware-based controller allows you to easily switch to RAID 0 configuration via DIP switches located on the rear of the enclosure.
In RAID 0 mode, the system combines both disks into a single volume and splits data between them, providing access to the full 48TB capacity while boosting read performance to up to 510MB/s.
This flexibility allows you to choose between maximum data security or maximum performance and capacity based on your specific project requirements.
Expandable Storage Solution
The integrated PRO-BLADE SSD Mag slot provides a convenient way to expand your storage capabilities without adding to your workspace footprint.
By inserting a compatible PRO-BLADE SSD Mag (sold separately), you can quickly add high-speed SSD storage for fast transfers, editing, and backup operations.
This innovative feature makes the G-RAID Mirror an adaptable solution that can evolve with your changing storage needs.
Enterprise-Class Reliability
At the heart of the G-RAID Mirror are two 7200RPM Ultrastar enterprise-class hard drives, specifically designed for continuous operation in demanding environments.
These drives offer enhanced reliability, durability, and performance compared to consumer-grade alternatives, making them ideal for professional workloads that require consistent, dependable operation.
The combination of enterprise-class drives and RAID 1 redundancy provides multiple layers of protection for your irreplaceable creative assets.
Mobile Compatibility
The G-RAID Mirror works seamlessly with compatible iPad tablets that feature USB Type-C ports and run iPadOS 14 or later.
This compatibility enables efficient creative workflows when using your favorite production apps on iPad, allowing you to access, edit, and manage large media files directly from the G-RAID Mirror.
For desktop users, the device supports macOS 11+ (with Time Machine compatibility) and Windows 10+ (via reformat).
Thoughtful Design Elements
The G-RAID Mirror features color-coded cable indicators to help you connect the right cables and maximize device performance without confusion.
Its durable anodized aluminum enclosure not only provides effective heat dissipation but also offers stackable convenience and includes anchor points for secure mounting on DIT carts or other professional setups.
A security lock slot (cable lock sold separately) adds physical security options for studio or on-location work environments.
