## Description

SanDisk Professional G-DRIVE enterprise-class hard drive with a USB-C (10Gbps) interface delivers ultra-reliable, high-capacity storage in a premium, stylish design. The 7200RPM Ultrastar drive inside features powerful performance with speeds up to 280MB/s read and 280MB/s write (22TB capacity)

Review: Excellent High Capacity Hard Drive - The SanDisk Professional 8TB hard drive is very well made. Solid construction. Very elegant on the desktop. Drives are also stackable. It plugs into the Thunderbolt connection (cable supplied) of my Apple Mac Studio and was up and running within a few minutes. Drive is pre-formatted. The drive is powered by an external power plug (also supplied). When applying power to my Mac and SanDisk the drive does not spin up but waits for the Mac to power up. Both take about the same time to initialise and be ready for use. Perfect for storing my large photo library for use with Adobe Lightroom. The drive isn’t silent as it’s a mechanical hard drive but it isn’t irritating to use. It sits under my monitor next to the Mac Studio. There is enough audible feedback to show the drive is reading/writing. It is a quiet drive compared to others I have used, and it’s certainly a lot quieter than my NAS drive. Drive temperature is slightly warm when it’s been used for a few hours. Perfectly acceptable. Windows or Apple Mac Operating Systems power down the drive by default to save energy. This can be disabled in the OS settings. It’s easy to find the step by step instructions on the SanDisk support web page.
Review: This HDD is not fit for purpose - This HDD is Rubbish! I used as Time Machine for new Mac Studio and it failed within 8 weeks. For some unexplained reason it throws up an error message which says "A problem has been detected with the disk that prevents it from being unlocked" backup data lost! Then it took three months for a refurbished replacement to be sent out to me, which has now failed again after just a few months. So in 9 months, I have had two units, one new and one refurbished, and now left without a back up solution for my Mac Studio. Frustrated and angry! Even desertcart has now noted on the item page that tis HDD has been "frequently returned" - why are desertcart selling such rubbish!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly what I needed
*by C***L on 18 November 2024*

Great hard drive for what I needed. I'm a wedding filmmaker and photographer and this hard drive is fast enough for me to work straight off of. I don't really understand the noise complaints. It makes a bit of noise but nothing major. I think we've gotten so focussed on everything being silent. I certainly wouldn't say it's a distraction at all. Just a normal hard drive noise.
