SanDisk Professional G-DRIVE SSD Review

The SanDisk Professional G-DRIVE SSD continues the G-DRIVE branding SanDisk acquired along with the G-Technology product line, offering a general-purpose creator-oriented portable drive positioned below the higher-speed PRO-G40 covered elsewhere on this site.

At up to 1,050 MB/s, this drive delivers solid everyday creator-workflow performance without reaching the PRO-G40's higher-tier Thunderbolt speed, appropriate for general photo and standard video editing use. Against the SanDisk Professional PRO-G40, covered elsewhere on this site, that drive uses Thunderbolt for substantially higher speed at a higher price. Against the Samsung T9, also covered elsewhere on this site, both target similar general-purpose high-capacity portable use.
