SANDISK PROFESSIONAL -MBAAD 24TB G-RAID Mirror 2-BAY RAID (2 x 12TB, THUNDERBOLT 3)

Inside the stylish enclosure are two 12TB 3.5" Ultrastar Enterprise Class 7200 rpm hard drives that are preformatted APFS for for macOS 11 or later and may be reformatted for Windows 10 or later. It also works well with iPadOS 14 and later. Delivering the reliability needed for backing up massive files, the G-RAID MIRROR is preconfigured as RAID 1, which simultaneously creates a 1:1 copy of your data on both drives. That way, you'll have a backup if one drive should fail. However, this also means that you can only work with half the capacity of the array while read and write speeds reach up to 250 MB/s and 240 MB/s, respectively.

 

If you prefer to work with content directly from the G-RAID Mirror, the hardware-based controller lets you change to RAID 0 mode by flipping the DIP switches located on the rear of the enclosure. Doing so combines both disks into a single volume and splits the data between them, giving you access to the full 24TB capacity while boosting the read performance. But be aware that changing modes will erase the data from the drives.

The included color-coded Thunderbolt 3 cable helps to keep your workspace organized. Additionally, the G-RAID Mirror's durable space gray aluminum construction works with the cooling fan to quickly dissipate heat and maintain optimal performance with demanding workloads.
