SanDisk Professional PRO-G40 SSD (2 TB)
The 2TB PRO-G40 carries the same rugged, Thunderbolt-3 design as the 1TB, rated to 2,700 MB/s for multi-day on-set ProRes RAW capture and offload without swapping drives. It suits working productions that need both capacity and TB3 speed in a field-tough enclosure. Budget kits and lighter workflows are better served by the 1TB or a plain USB-only SSD, given its specialized, capacity-first positioning.
