Not happy
Some background - I have a music studio and a photography studio. I have around 15 hi capacity drives - mostly all older G-Techs. I use these products a lot. I bought this SanDisk July 2024. Its sole purpose is to make 1 weekly secondary time machine backup to my photography Mac Studio - which I do every Sunday. The reality is that it will rarely switch on. It boots up sometimes. The unit is stored in its original packaging after performing a backup - it looks like new - the packaging looks like new. But it is so frustrating to use. Tonight it took 20 minutes to start the hard disk. Original cost was $788. Worst drive I have ever had - probably the most expensive as well. Positive note: once started it performs well.

CONSISTENTLY GETTING ISSUES - ADVISE NOT TO PURCHASE
I've had issues with two of the last of these that I've purchased. One had the electronics die, and the other auto-ejected itself after a few minutes of being plugged in. Both were in mint, new condition at the time of failure. ALSO I ordered one of these and Amazon gave me the wrong drive (an 18TB enterprise version, about half the price) but in the correct box. They refused to do a replacement, so now I'm stuck having to ship it back to them before receiving a refund despite it being their mistake. If you don't want to deal with that headache, DO NOT PURCHASE.

Fast, Reliable, Massive Storage
This drive is a beast. I bought it to consolidate scattered backups and media files from years of work — and it handled everything with room to spare. Speeds are consistent even under heavy loads, and Thunderbolt 3 makes a real difference. It’s quiet, cool, and built like a tank. Perfect for large video files, raw images, and project archives. Not cheap, but if you value reliability and capacity, it’s worth every cent. Great choice for professionals who don’t want to mess around with flaky storage.
