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.
