SanDisk Professional G-Drive SSD Review: Fast, Resilient Pro Storage
By Jamie G
The SanDisk Professional G-Drive SSD is a responsive, rugged and secure portable SSD says Sean Webster who recently reviewed this drive. He gave this powerful drive 4 stars out of 5 and had a lot to say! The G-DRIVE SSD is available in 500GB, 1TB, 2TB and 4TB and has transfer speeds up to 560MB/s let you quickly save, edit and archive large source files, while a versatile USB-C™port with a USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface keeps this device ready for laptops both old and new. It provides ruggedized storage you can trust! Check out some highlights of Webster’s review.
The G-Drive SSD has a very solid feel in the hand, as it should considering its high capacity 2,000-pound crush resistance and IP67 ratings. The rubber-like exterior also grips the surface you place it on. There is a white power/activity LED on the opposite side of the USB Type-C port, too.

The G-Drive SSD is not only good for a professional workflow, but it’s also good for play, too. The SanDisk Professional G-Drive SSD delivered solid game load results having scored within roughly half a second of the fastest competitor and one and a half seconds faster than the LaCie Rugged SSD.
Sean Webster
Unlike some poorly designed SSDs, the G-Drive SSD won’t slow down to HDD-like speeds when hammered. So, when it comes to moving around 4K footage and RAW photos or maybe just a bunch of your documents or games, the SanDisk Professional G-Drive SSD will deliver a consistent, solid performance time and time again. It isn’t the fastest 10Gbps SSD you can buy, however, and it shares a hardware design very similar to that of much cheaper alternatives like the SanDisk Extreme v2 and WD MyPassport SSD.
