Now that WD has rebranded the G-Tech drives to Sandisk Professional, there are some new part numbers and some product changes. We list some of the most notable changes here
- WD no longer uses 10TB, 14TB drives. That means no more 20 TB, 28TB in 2 Bays, no more 40TB, 56TB in 4 Bays and no more 80TB and 112TB in 8 Bays
- The naming is now much more logical. The number of drives used is now indicated ( GRAID 2 = 2 drives, Shuttle 4 = 4 Bays, Shuttle 8 = 8 Bays). Interface available is dropped from product name.
- G-Speed does not seem to exist anymore. They now call it G- RAID Shuttle
- G-Drive Thunderbolt3 has become G- Drive Pro
- There are now 2 new Professional card readers in the product lineup
Here is a table with all the changes.
