Capacity : 6TBStyle: Previous GenerationVerified Purchase
Housing build quality is good as expected. Power cable/brick cord is definitely fairly stiff so I worry about long term durability if this drive is moved around. I’ve been using this drive for photo storage, no complains on speed/usability on my MBP16, sure it’s not as fast as SSD but it’s not detrimental to workflow. As other reviews mention, a large amount of advertised space is lost through the formatting on this drive. Comes with power supply and USB-C cable. I’d definitely purchase this drive again if looking for a non-redundant directly attached large capacity storage device.

I don't often write reviews but feel compelled to do so. I'm a creative professional and I use an insane amount of hard drive space. A large part of my business involves a video editing workflow. I'm partial to SSD's as they are the fastest, but they are too expensive per gig. So I took a chance on this drive and I am extremely happy. I've been editing large HD video projects with ease. Fast, efficient, no waiting. I'm very please and will be buying more of these drives in the future.
For reference, I run Final Cut Pro - MacBook Pro 16" base model.

This new generation of USB C hard disks from SanDisk is very good and fast. A bit pricey but you get the quality you pay for. The casing is made of metal, so it's sturdy. The design is beautiful and sits well on a desk. This unit is moderately noisy, but that's to be expected from a 7200 RPM drive. To get better and faster one needs to go for a RAID or SSD drives.

Despite not being SSD, I have been loving these drives for backup and media storage. I do all my video editing directly from files on these external drives with no issues and totally acceptable speeds. Quiet and nice looking.

Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2023
Capacity : 12TBStyle: New GenerationVerified Purchase
This review is on the SanDisk Professional 22TB G-Drive Enterprise-Class External Desktop Hard Drive. Needing more capacity, I returned the 12TB (quiet and vibration free) version and went with the 22TB version from Amazon Warehouse at a discount. After powering up the 22TB IDE drive for the first time, I noticed a modest amount of vibration and noise, even after cycling the drive on and off a number of times. So...in developing A.A. (Amazon Attitude) after having to return a number of recent purchases, I started the online return process. What is odd, is that by the time I finished the online return process, the drive had quieted down to no vibration and no noise other than initial booting up. File copying has been consistent at 240 - 250 MB/s from my SSD drive computer, and after a few hours of idling and file copying, the drive still remains "whisper quiet." I've seen the reviews claiming that the 22 TB drive only has 20 TB available, but after formatting the drive to NTFS Basic GPT drive for WIN 10 Pro, I have a full 22 TB (see attachments). I've been using only SSD drives for about 5 yrs., so I don't know if the new IDE drives need a 10 - 15 minute "break in period" to finally calm down. Speeds are as advertised using AAOMEI Partitioning Assistant Pro.
Hope this helps
Post Script next day: Unlike the 12 TB version, this 22 TB version does not go dormant after 15 minutes of no activity. I was OK either way, but going dormant may have led to extended disk life. Even while dormant, the drive was still visible and immediately "woke up" when needed. Still showing 22 TG actual disk space...
Post Script 5-18-2023 - Looks like this drive also goes dormant after a period of time (in excess of an hour) with no activity, but remains in the WIN 10 Devices & Drives (My Computer). To me, this is good, and will extend the life of the drive.

Viene con todos los cables que puedes requerir para usarlo en tu computadora. Yo compré 2 discos para configurar una opción de RAID 1 y usarlo como disco de trabajo cotidiano en una Mac, es una buena opción por si consideras comprar un arreglo de discos dedicado con configuración de fábrica tipo RAID 1, considera que tú mismo puedes usar 2 discos y vía instrucciones sencillas en el sistema operativo de Mac puedes hacer tu propia configuración RAID 1.
