The world needs more storage space as AI, video, and entertainment tech move forward fast. Every part of making movies or TV shows demands bigger drives with better performance. Western Digital just added new products that give people the huge storage they need for today.
Western Digital is introducing new products with larger sizes across its professional lineup. These new drives pack enterprise-class Ultrastar 7200 RPM hard disks for top reliability and quick speeds. The massive 208 TB G-RAID SHUTTLE 8 costs $8,199.99 and gives you an eight-bay system you can carry between locations or studios.
The SHUTTLE 8 supports many RAID setups and transfers files at blazing speeds up to 1700 MB/s read and 1500 MB/s write when set to RAID 5. You can link five more devices together for even bigger storage chains. Each unit comes with eight removable enterprise-class hard drives ready for heavy work.
A smaller version called the 104 TB G-RAID SHUTTLE 4 costs $4,499.99 and fits four bays instead of eight. This compact system handles real-time editing of 4K, 8 K, and VR projects without breaking a sweat. The factory sets it to RAID 5, but you can change it to RAID 0, 1, or 10, depending on what works best for your projects.
Western Digital sells a 52 TB G-RAID PROJECT 2 for $1,699.99. It houses two enterprise-grade Ultrastar drives for quick access to your files. The company sets this model to RAID 0, which makes file transfers super fast when speed matters most. Both Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C connect this drive to your computer at 10 Gbps speeds.
The 26 TB G-DRIVE PROJECT costs $999.99 and works with both Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C at 10 Gbps. This device helps backup and protect important project files. It also features a SanDisk Professional PRO-BLADE SSD Mag slot that lets you add modular SSD performance for faster editing across different machines.
For $649.99, the basic 26 TB G-DRIVE provides reliable storage through USB-C at 10 Gbps for quick backups. It reads files at 260 MB/s and writes at 270 MB/s. The aluminum case stacks easily and has attachment points for DIT carts, mounting plates, or other production gear you might use on set.
Western Digital also created a 26 TB WD Red Pro hard drive priced at $569.99, made specifically for NAS systems. This drive helps small businesses handle growing storage needs with better performance and reliability for heavy workloads. It works perfectly with multi-bay RAID systems used by companies and creative professionals alike.
The new drive handles workloads up to 550 TB yearly and runs reliably for 2.5 million hours before failure. Western Digital built it for 24/7 use by multiple people accessing files at the same time. Creative teams working on videos or businesses running enterprise NAS systems benefit equally from its OptiNAND technology that improves data tracking.
Nitin Kachhwaha from Western Digital explains they constantly push limits to meet storage needs for everyone, from video producers working with 4K and 8K footage to companies running AI analytics. Their new 26 TB professional lineup and WD Red Pro drives deliver the capacity modern users require. These products continue their promise to create storage that powers creativity and digital change.
You can see these new products yourself at the NAB Show, which will be held April 5th through 9th in Las Vegas. Western Digital will show everything at booth SL3916, located inside the South Hall Lower building, during the event.
