SanDisk Professional G-DRIVE PROJECT 6TB 3.5" 240 MB/s Thunderbolt 3 External HDD

The SanDisk SDPHG1H-006T-NBAAD is a 6TB external hard drive designed for desktop workflows that need dependable, high-capacity storage. A 3.5 inch Ultrastar enterprise-grade disk operating at 7200 rpm sits inside an anodized aluminum chassis, delivering the sustained performance creative projects demand.

Its Thunderbolt 3 connection moves data through a 40 Gb/s pipeline, reaching up to 250 MB/s read and 240 MB/s write speeds. A second Thunderbolt port lets you daisy-chain additional drives or even a display, keeping your desk tidy while maintaining full bandwidth. When you plug into systems that lack Thunderbolt, the same port supports USB 3.2 Gen 2, so you still get a fast, familiar connection.

For projects that outgrow even 6TB, a dedicated PRO-BLADE SSD Mag slot adds hot-swappable, solid-state media at up to 10 Gb/s without expanding the device footprint. It is a simple way to offload, back up, or edit critical files on the spot.

The drive arrives formatted in APFS for macOS and iPadOS. A quick reformat prepares it for Windows workstations, which is helpful in mixed-platform studios. An adjustable status LED lets you dim or brighten the indicator light to match your environment, and the box includes both a Thunderbolt 3 cable and a power adapter so you can get to work immediately.

Whether you are a DIT ingesting high-resolution footage on set, a photographer archiving raw shoots, or a post-production professional stacking several units in a Thunderbolt chain, this drive keeps large files moving quickly and gives you room to grow.
