G-DRIVE 22TB Desktop Hard Drive
Store your biggest projects in one reliable place. The G-DRIVE 22TB is a high-capacity desktop hard drive made for video editors, photographers, studios, and offices that handle large files. As a result, you keep footage, backups, and archives together instead of spreading them across many small disks. In addition, its premium aluminium enclosure looks good on any desk.
Why choose this drive?

- Fast USB-C connection: USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) supports read and write speeds of up to 280MB/s, so large backups finish sooner.
- Premium aluminium enclosure: The anodised, stackable body helps with cooling, and it also adds durability.
- Built for production work: Anchor points let you attach it to a DIT cart, a mounting plate, or other gear.

Tips for protecting your data
First, plug the drive into a surge protector or UPS, because sudden power cuts can damage a spinning drive. Next, eject it safely before you unplug it. Also, back up your most important files to a second location. Finally, keep it in a well-ventilated spot, so the drive stays cool.
