SanDisk Professional G-RAID SHUTTLE 8 144TB

The SanDisk Professional G-RAID SHUTTLE 8 144TB (SDZH48A-144T-NBAAD) is an eight-bay hardware RAID storage system built around Western Digital Ultrastar enterprise-class hard drives, delivering a raw capacity of 144TB in a portable, bus-powered-optional desktop enclosure. The system supports multiple RAID configurations including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, and JBOD, enabling administrators to balance performance, redundancy, and usable capacity to match the demands of demanding creative and enterprise workflows. The enclosure connects via dual Thunderbolt 3 ports providing up to 40Gb/s bandwidth per port, along with USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2) compatibility, ensuring broad connectivity across modern workstations and docking environments.

Designed explicitly for high-throughput, data-intensive environments, the G-RAID SHUTTLE 8 144TB is optimized for on-set digital cinema capture workflows, multi-stream 4K and 8K video editing, and post-production media asset management. The aluminum enclosure provides passive thermal management and structural durability suited to transport between set locations and editing suites. Hardware RAID processing is handled by a dedicated RAID controller, offloading parity and striping calculations from the host system CPU to maintain consistent sustained transfer performance under heavy I/O loads.

The unit ships pre-configured in RAID 5 out of the box, offering an immediate balance of performance and single-drive fault tolerance with the majority of raw capacity available as usable storage. The included SanDisk Professional RAID Manager software allows administrators to reconfigure RAID modes, monitor drive health via S.M.A.R.T. diagnostics, and manage the array without requiring third-party utilities. The dual Thunderbolt 3 ports support daisy-chaining of up to five additional Thunderbolt devices, preserving port economy on connected workstations in multi-peripheral production environments.

Ideal for

• On-set and near-set 4K/8K RAW digital cinema capture storage requiring high-capacity, fault-tolerant arrays with portable form factor
• Multi-stream non-linear video editing (NLE) in post-production suites handling simultaneous ProRes, REDCODE RAW, or ARRIRAW media playback
• Media asset management and active archive for broadcast and streaming production houses requiring large-capacity, desk-side RAID storage
• Visual effects and color grading workstation storage where sustained high throughput and low-latency access to large project files is critical
• Enterprise creative departments consolidating project data from multiple editors onto a single high-capacity shared or directly attached storage node
• Location-based data offload and backup staging for digital imaging technicians (DITs) requiring ruggedized, transportable high-capacity RAID arrays
