Armazenamento RAID externo SANDISK G-RAID Shuttle 8 Preto – caixa RAID multi-bay portátil

SANDISK G-RAID Shuttle 8 Black is a portable multi-bay RAID enclosure designed to deliver high-capacity, transportable storage for professional media workflows. The unit houses eight removable enterprise-class Ultrastar hard drives and ships configured for balanced performance in RAID 5. Supported host interfaces include Thunderbolt 3 (40 Gbps) and USB-C (10 Gbps). The Shuttle 8 is suitable for macOS 10.15+ and Windows 10+ environments and is built for on-location use with operating range from 5 °C to 35 °C.

Advantages

The enclosure provides up to 160 TB of consolidated storage in a compact, portable chassis measuring 245 x 174 x 385 mm and weighing 12.37 kg, allowing large media libraries or project archives to be moved between locations. Hardware RAID is integrated and supports multiple levels (RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60, JBOD), enabling a balance between speed, capacity and redundancy depending on workflow needs. Dual Thunderbolt 3 ports support daisy-chaining of additional devices while high sustained transfer rates (up to approximately 1690 MB/s read and 1490 MB/s write in default RAID 5) help accelerate multi-stream 4K, 8K and VR production tasks.

Suitable for

• On-location video and film production media storage
• Studio project archives and collaborative editing
• Transportable backup and disaster-recovery sets
• High-resolution multi-stream workflows (4K, 8K, VR)

How to use

Connect the G-RAID Shuttle 8 to a host computer using the Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C port and power the unit from the supplied power adapter. The enclosure arrives preconfigured in a default RAID level; confirm the RAID configuration and file system compatibility with your host OS before transferring production media. Removable drives can be serviced or replaced individually; follow manufacturer procedures when hot-swapping or rebuilding RAID arrays. For multi-device setups, use the secondary Thunderbolt 3 port to daisy-chain additional Thunderbolt peripherals or displays.

Recommendations

Place the enclosure on a stable, ventilated surface and maintain ambient temperature within the specified operating range. For production environments, choose a RAID level that matches your priorities (RAID 5 or 6 for redundancy, RAID 0 for maximum throughput) and verify backups before making configuration changes. Use certified Thunderbolt 3 cables for best performance and enable USB Power Delivery only with compatible hosts to avoid power conflicts.
