Congratulations are in order for SanDisk; the SanDisk Professional G-Drive Project is our pick for Best Storage of NAB 2024. This large capacity external hard drive can now store up to 24 TB and promises fast data transfers. These features make it perfect for video producers who generate a lot of data and need to access it quickly.
Getting to know the SanDisk Professional G-DRIVE PROJECT
Designed for desktop use, the G-DRIVE PROJECT is a large-capacity hard drive with support for up to 24 TB of storage space. It offers Thunderbolt 3 connectivity for transfer speeds of up to 260 MB/s. This promises to minimize wait times during post-production.
Also helping to speed up the post-production workflow, the G-DRIVE PROJECT also features a SanDisk Professional PRO-BLADE SSD Mag Slot with transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps. That means you can quickly and easily offload footage directly from your SSD capture media to the G-DRIVE PROJECT.
The drive features a reliable 7,200 RPM Ultrastar enterprise class hard drive, which SanDisk promises will keep valuable content safe and secure.
On the outside
Complementing its high-end performance, the G-DRIVE PROJECT’s anodized aluminum housing and sleek design help it blend into professional computer setups. It can also connect directly to an iPad via USB-C, giving it even more versatility and functionality.
The G-DRIVE PROJECT also makes setup easy with a color-coded cable system. With this, all you need to do is match the color on the port with the color on the cable to easily get your devices connected.

In addition to the top-of-the-line 24TB option, the SanDisk Professional G-DRIVE PROJECT also comes in 6 TB, 8 TB, 12 TB, 18 TB and 22 TB configurations. Prices range from $370 for the 6 TB all the way up to $930 for the 24 TB behemoth. All versions are available now for purchase.
