SanDisk Professional 4TB G-DRIVE PRO - Enterprise-Class Desktop Hard Drive, Thunderbolt 3, USB-C, 7200RPM Ultrastar Drive Inside - SDPH51J-004T-NBAAD

Love the speed and quietness of this hard drive

This is my second purchase of this product. Good size storage at a good cost. the drive does get a little hot though, but has lasted for 5 years daily use.

Great hard drive to storage videos and photos

I use this for video editing on my M1 MacBook Pro and Im happy with it.

Always will buy this drive first.

The device was easy to plug in, and offered me right away (on my Mac) the 12 TB of Sorge I needed. I used it for a Carbon Copy Cloner target, and that worked great, and I had been using another 10 TB drive as a Time Machine drive backup medium, so now with twi G-drives (10TB + 12TB) I am fully backed-up and protected. This is a good company, with good products that I fully endorse!

I have the 12Tb version, works with no issues, not loud at all for a beast this size, I’m just zeroing it right out, it’s taking a bit of time but no issues at all. The guy that gave it a one star review, did you format yours? This are preformated for mac only.

I bought this SanDisk Professional to replace a failing drive. I was able to copy the failing drives data to it and Ive been very pleased with its responsiveness and performance so far. Its quiet and quick, just what I needed for photo and video editing!

The machine was very noisy in terms of the stylus seeking information on the disk. The advertised transfer speeds were not present either. The unit ran extremely hot and made very loud noises, like all units that are not controlled by the USB port, it was on all the time. Very disappointed in these products. I have invested in LaCie products recommended by Apple as I was connecting this drive to the new Mac Studio computer. Not only were the LaCie products less expensive but they work very, very, well. I believe Western Digital is a valuable player in the small portable market but I won’t invest in any of their desktop products going forward.

Ive had the drive for almost a year and am on my second warranty replacement. The first was because the drive was loud and made noise. On hearing a recording, support agreed to replace it. The second drive was just as loud, but expected, according to support. Now the power plug port is failing. The slightest bump causes the drive to lose power. Im waiting on a replacement. Id avoid this brand of drives, if I were you.
