HONEST review of the 12tb Scandisk hardrive

Reviews with images
This fast external drive powers other SanDisk external SSDs to better performance on my iMac system.
This fast external drive has helped power (one at a time) other SanDisk external SSDs to better performance on my iMac system. Problems I had copying a large 3.8 TB photos library were resolved when that external SSD where the library was located was connected to the daisy-chain power supply from this G-Drive. I was able to overcome the previously dead-ended MacOS error Code -36 issues.This G-Drive's speed is also adequate to edit and render 60+ minute 4K videos on its external storage without dropping / hesitation. The 7.68 TB it permits has allowed me to rearrange and clean up files on other drives (2x4TB and 4x5TB) to make the most of the space they offer. Also, I've placed a cloud Sync drive onto it, which is permitting streaming upload of my large files - pics and videos, etc. (One has to rename the "Photos Library.photoslibrary" file to allow the contents to be copied up, as Sync does not allow the copy of library files).The result? This is like another level power boost to my iMac (2019) 1TB internal SSD, 3.6 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9, Radeon Pro Vega 48-8GB + 32GB 2667 MHz DDR4 Ram system, now operating on MacOS Sonoma 14.4.Seems a bit costly, but I have been blessed to have the $ resource to be able to have made the jump to purchase it.The integrity of this drive vs data loss is another strong characteristic that affirms my delight in this purchase.

It is advertised as a Thunderbolt 3 drive. However, it does not meet that standard's transfer speed (40Gb/s). Instead, it's actually a Thunderbolt 2 drive (20GB/s) transfer with a T3 cable. So half the transfer speed on a 12TB drive. Pro in 2020, 2021, 2022 is 40GB/s.
We made the unfortunate discovery on a shoot when it was too late to get any alternates. The transfers were going alarmingly slow, even for HD footage. Upon investigating, the "fine print" on the box revealed the issue.
I've spoken multiple times with GTech/Western Digital/Sandisk. They claim the drive functions "according to their" specification. However, it is not what anyone would expect from a drive advertised as Thunderbolt 3. Again, Thunderbolt 3 is 40Gb/s. So is "Pro".
Furthermore, the drive is having issues. It repeatedly puts itself to sleep though system preferences are set to never do so. Anyone who edits understands how slow and harmful that can be.
