It is pre-configured in RAID 1 mode, so content is automatically duplicated to the second hard drive for data redundancy. The mode can be changed from RAID 1 to RAID 0 or JBOD at the touch of a button. No app or special software is needed to do this. Content from a SanDisk Professional PRO-BLADE SSD Mag (sold separately) can be swapped out, copied or edited at high speed through the PRO-BLADE SSD Mag slot.
The SanDisk Professional G-RAID MIRROR should be available soon at a price starting at 731.99 euros (12 TB).
WD attests to its new SanDisk PRO-CINEMA CFexpress Type B memory card with 320 or 640 GB storage capacity a continuous write speed of at least 1,400 MB/s, sufficient for 8K videos. Thanks to a rugged housing, the card is said to withstand drops of up to one meter and a force of up to 50 Newtons (five kilograms).
The memory card is compatible with the SanDisk Professional PRO-READER CFexpress and PRO-DOCK 4 devices (sold separately) and is scheduled to launch in the fall with prices starting at €454.99 (with a storage capacity of 320 GB and a lifetime warranty).
