Review: This drive is quiet - I needed an upgrade for my media library, and since the device sits on the stand under my TV, I wanted it to be quiet. I did a lot of research, and a lot of the multiple drive enclosures seem to be designed to go into a server closet where noise isn't really that much of an issue. This device is perfect for what I needed. It comes out of the box set to Raid 1, so I get redundancy by default. I got the 16tb version, which gives me 8tb for my media. It is important to note that the drive does not have an off switch (although, I love that you can turn off the LED light on the front), so it seems to be meant to just be left on, which is perfect for my use case. I have only had it for a week, we will see how it lasts, but I hope to use it for many years to come. Review: mirroring worked, but any of the other raid settings not so much - value for money: this unit is pricy but you get what you pay for, right? Well i thought so. SanDisk is and has been a quality manufacture of drives for many years so even though the price of this unit put me in an uncomfortable place i felt like it was going to be a worthwhile purchase. When the drive arrived i unpacked it, plugged it in and verified that indeed it was showing 22tb available (half of the 44tb since the drive ships in Raid 1 status) I wanted JBOD (just a bunch of disks) or just one large 44tb volume. The instructions that come with the drive are very clear as to what you need to do in order to get the drive configured into Raid 0, Raid 5, or JBOD so i followed that instructions for jbod and that's where the trouble started. Once i flipped the appropriate dip switches and restarted the drive the drive light continued to blink endlessly. I took some time and researched what this might mean and several articles indicated that mapping 44tb may take some time so don't worry. Well the following morning the lights were still flashing. I attempted to turn off the drive - it would not turn off. So i unplugged it. That shut the drive down but upon powering it back up the drive active light was still flashing :-( Unplugged it and tried setting it back to one of the other raid settings. Nothing worked. The drive would not unmount, it would not shut down, just completely unresponsive. so i left it running for an additional 2 days (light still flashing) So i unplugged it, contacted desertcart and requested a refund which they granted without question. Well i still needed the drive and the drive capacity so the following weekend i drove to California from Las Vegas to visit the good folks at Samys Camera who also sell this drive. I walked in, purchased the drive and asked the sales associate to put the drive into status JBOD just to make sure it would work before driving back to Vegas. 2hrs latter management came up to me and said Mr. Miller we are going to refund your purchase and we will investigate the problem so that we are better prepared for when the next customer comes in asking for the same thing you have. So I'm not sure what the problem is other than the drive will not function as one large 44tb unit. I'm sure if 22tb would fulfill your data storage needs that this drive would fit your needs very well and probably work as expected. After purchasing this drive from two separate vendors and experiencing the exact same trouble my guess is that there is some sort of hard coded software problem with the various Raid settings powering this unit. I'm going to look into Mass Raid Storage Solution something from Synology or Qnap maybe WD. I'm not real happy about the thought of having my images broken up into bits and spread across 2,4,6,8 drives. Yes i know there are supposed to be protections in place to keep you from losing data in the event of a drive failure but at this point i'm just uneasy about this whole process. maybe a 2, or 3 18tb external stand alone drives would fit my needs better and i will just manually copy stuff from one drive to the next to create secure backups. At least that way the entire image or block of images is/are on one drive and not spanned across however many drives make up the Raid. ## Features - Up to 16TB of max capacity on two 7200RPM Ultrastar Enterprise-class Hard Drives Inside (1TB = 1 trillion bytes. Actual user capacity may be less depending on operating environment and RAID configuration. For RAID products, storage capacity is based on RAID 0 mode.) - Ships in RAID 1 for peace of mind with transfers rates up to 250MB/s read, or use the hardware RAID selector for up to 500MB/s read in RAID 0 (1 MB/s = 1 million bytes per second. Based on internal testing; performance may vary depending upon host device, usage conditions, drive capacity, RAID configuration and other factors) - PRO-BLADE SSD Mag slot to easily add SSD capacity and performance for fast transfers, editing, and backup without adding to your workspace. - Color-coded cable indicators to connect the right cables and get the most out of your device performance. - High-performance Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) interface and USB (10Gbps) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CH219TF2 | | Additional Features | Portable | | Best Sellers Rank | #410 in External Hard Drives | | Brand | SanDisk Professional | | Built-In Media | 2 drive bays | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 250 | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Connectivity Technology | Thunderbolt , USB | | Customer Package Type | FFP (Flat Free Package) | | Customer Reviews | 3.2 out of 5 stars 80 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 250 megabytes_per_second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 16 TB | | Enclosure Material | Aluminum | | Form Factor | 3.5-inch | | Hard Disk Description | Mechanical Hard Disk | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 3.5 inches | | Hard Disk Interface | Thunderbolt | | Hard Disk Rotational Speed | 7200 rpm | | Hard-Drive Size | 16 TB | | Hardware Connectivity | Solid State Drive, Thunderbolt | | Installation Type | External Hard Drive | | Item Weight | 7 pounds | | Manufacturer | Western Digital Technologies, Inc. | | Media Speed | 250 megabytes_per_second | | Mfr Part Number | SDPHH2H-016T-NBAAD | | Model Name | G-RAID Mirror | | Model Number | SDPHH2H-016T-NBAAD | | Number of Items | 1 | | Read Speed | 250 megabytes_per_second | | Special Feature | Portable | | Specific Uses For Product | Backup, Storage | | UPC | 718037901848 | | Unit Count | 2 Count | | Warranty Description | 5 year limited manufacturer warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SanDisk Professional - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop - **Connectivity Technology:** Thunderbolt, USB - **Digital Storage Capacity:** 16 TB - **Hard Disk Description:** Mechanical Hard Disk - **Hard Disk Form Factor:** 3.5 Inches - **Hard Disk Interface:** Thunderbolt - **Installation Type:** External Hard Drive - **Special Feature:** Not_Performance_Used ## Images ![SanDisk Professional 16TB G-RAID Mirror - External HDD, RAID with Redundancy, Thunderbolt 3, USB (10Gbps), 7200RPM Ultrastar Hard Drive, Up to 250MB/s Read in RAID 1 - SDPHH2H-016T-NBAAD - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/718Kq58jCrL.jpg) ![SanDisk Professional 16TB G-RAID Mirror - External HDD, RAID with Redundancy, Thunderbolt 3, USB (10Gbps), 7200RPM Ultrastar Hard Drive, Up to 250MB/s Read in RAID 1 - SDPHH2H-016T-NBAAD - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71FfDE7AsXL.jpg) ![SanDisk Professional 16TB G-RAID Mirror - External HDD, RAID with Redundancy, Thunderbolt 3, USB (10Gbps), 7200RPM Ultrastar Hard Drive, Up to 250MB/s Read in RAID 1 - SDPHH2H-016T-NBAAD - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71O-jFIi5vL.jpg) ![SanDisk Professional 16TB G-RAID Mirror - External HDD, RAID with Redundancy, Thunderbolt 3, USB (10Gbps), 7200RPM Ultrastar Hard Drive, Up to 250MB/s Read in RAID 1 - SDPHH2H-016T-NBAAD - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81qIlCv5jbL.jpg) ![SanDisk Professional 16TB G-RAID Mirror - External HDD, RAID with Redundancy, Thunderbolt 3, USB (10Gbps), 7200RPM Ultrastar Hard Drive, Up to 250MB/s Read in RAID 1 - SDPHH2H-016T-NBAAD - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-FPSCK4tL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This drive is quiet *by W***D on January 4, 2024* I needed an upgrade for my media library, and since the device sits on the stand under my TV, I wanted it to be quiet.

It's easy to set up whether you use Time Machine or Time Machine editor which is the one that my wife prefers. ## Frequently Bought Together - SanDisk Professional 16TB G-RAID Mirror - External HDD, RAID with Redundancy, Thunderbolt 3, USB (10Gbps), 7200RPM Ultrastar Hard Drive, Up to 250MB/s Read in RAID 1 - SDPHH2H-016T-NBAAD - Cable Matters [Intel Certified] 40Gbps Thunderbolt 4 Cable 3.3ft with 8K Video and 240W Charging - 1m, Compatible with USB4, Thunderbolt 3 Cable and USB-C --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/562551035-sandisk-professional-16tb-g-raid-mirror-external-hdd-raid-redundancy](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/562551035-sandisk-professional-16tb-g-raid-mirror-external-hdd-raid-redundancy) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-07-25*
