MichiganHolly Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I'm comparing the current models of the San Disk G-Drive. I am confused about the differences between the "PRO" and the, um, not-Pro. Is it just the ports? The Pro has dual Thunderbolt *and* a USB-C as opposed to a single USB-C on the other. The other specs seem to be pretty close. Since I am probably going to use it on my PC and not my M1 mini, is there reason to choose the Pro version? I've been using the standard model with my work PC for a few years now and it has been great. I just want one for home now.https://www.westerndigital.com/products/external-drives/sandisk-pro-g-drive-pro-thunderbolt-3-hdd#SDPH51J-006T-NBAADhttps://www.westerndigital.com/products/external-drives/sandisk-pro-g-drive-usb-3-1-hdd#SDPH91G-006T-NBAAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 One has Thunderbolt 3 Ports and USB-C 3.2 Gen 1, the other has a single USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 Port only. If you have a Thunderbolt 3 port on your Windows Computer, or have a new Mac, which has Thunderbolt 3/4 ports, get the Thunderbolt version. If you don't the USB-C 3.2 Single port version is fine. Both drives are the Enterprise-Grade (Meaning Beefy & Strong) type so you don't have to worry about that. Basically, it's the same drive in both, just the interface ports on the back of the case are different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
