Western Digital launches new 22TB and 44TB Sandisk Professional external hard drives https://news.broadfield.com/western-digital-launches-new-22tb-and-44tb-sandisk-professional-external-hard-drives/ Wed, 20 Sep 2023 18:16:11 +0000 https://news.broadfield.com/?p=26477 Desire Athow recently wrote an article for TechRadar about the new Thunderbolt 3 storage devices Western Digital recently introduced. Storage colossus Western Digital added two new external hard disk drives to its already impressive lineup of storage devices ahead of IBC2023, the International Broadcasting Convention, which takes place in Amsterdam every year and attracts the cream of the broadcasting, media, and entertainment industries. Read highlights from Desire Athow’s TechRadar article below.

The pro-grade products, which include the SanDisk Professional G-Drive PROJECT and the G-RAID Mirror, formerly part of the G-Technology family, fill a gap in Western Digital’s offering.

Both have Thunderbolt 3 (rather than Thunderbolt 4) ports for daisy-chaining up to five devices, a five-year warranty, and one or two hard disk drives (up to 22TB Ultrastar Enterprise-class hard drives, most likely the Ultrastar DC HC570). They also both have a PRO-BLADE SSD mag slot for managing content on this SSD-based storage device.

The PROJECT comes in sizes ranging from 6TB ($369.99) to 22TB ($849.99). Western Digital claims that it can achieve read/write speeds of up to 260MB/s, which is slightly less than the HC570’s maximum transfer speed of 291MB/s.

The G-RAID Mirror can store up to 44TB of data on two drives and costs a whopping $1499.99. It comes pre-configured in RAID-1 “mirroring” mode for increased data redundancy. By simply flipping a switch, it can be changed from RAID-0 to JBOD (Just a bunch of drives) for improved performance.
