Sandisk Professional 4TB PRO-G40 SSD
$800.00 /day
The definitive ultra-rugged, high-performance external storage workhorse for on-set DIT data offloading, high-bitrate video editing, and secure media transit, the SanDisk Professional 4TB PRO-G40 SSD is now available for rental in Hong Kong. Featuring a unique dual-mode compatibility layer supporting both Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) and USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) interfaces over a single port, it outputs blistering read speeds up to 2700MB/s and write speeds up to 2500MB/s. Built with an aluminum core framework encased in a protective rubberized shell, it boasts IP68 dust/water resistance and 3-meter drop protection. The ultimate choice for handling raw cinema files from ARRI, RED, or Sony FX series setups directly on location. (Note: This standard rental package includes the PRO-G40 4TB SSD and high-bandwidth Thunderbolt connectivity cable only; desktop compute hubs and card readers are available for add-on rent separately.)
A 10% damage waiver fee will be applied to your order in the rental basket unless proof of own insurance can be supplied.
The SanDisk Professional 4TB PRO-G40 Ultra-Rugged Dual-Mode External SSD is the absolute premier mobile storage platform engineered for on-set digital imaging technicians (DIT), documentary filmmakers, and high-volume commercial production crews, making it a highly demanded critical asset for equipment hire in Hong Kong. Breaking interface speed barriers by housing a high-grade NVMe drive within a hyper-durable tactical shell, the PRO-G40 sustains blistering read speeds up to 2700MB/s and write speeds up to 2500MB/s, turning heavy multi-terabyte data offloading runs into fast, trivial background tasks.
When executing an equipment hire for fast-paced commercial advertising campaigns, remote landscape lookbooks in Sai Kung, or intense urban tracking runs across Hong Kong, ambient humidity, rain, accidental drops, and hardware connectivity mismatch can completely jeopardize your production data safety. The SanDisk Professional PRO-G40 overcomes these critical setbacks flawlessly. It incorporates a proprietary internal hardware controller layer that allows it to communicate natively with both Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) and USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) host systems using a single heavy-duty Type-C port. Its ruggedized structure is built with an internal aluminum core to rapidly dissipate crushing thermal energy under continuous operational tracking, while its exterior soft-touch shell guarantees IP68 water and dust resistance paired with a certified 3-meter drop capability.
Applicable Scenarios:
-
On-Set Cinema Data Offloading & Ingestion: Allows DIT assistants to offload multiple streams of high-bitrate raw files from high-end camera cards simultaneously without throttling speed metrics.
-
Direct-Drive Live Scratch Editing Timeline: Sustains high-headroom continuous data throughput, empowering editors to scrub and render multi-camera 4K/8K ProRes timelines directly from the external drive without proxy lag.
-
Extreme Outdoor & Marine Locations: Perfect for handling rough weather runs along coastlines or humid high-rise rooftops, keeping your structural master files fully sealed against environment shocks.
-
Blistering 2700MB/s Real-World Speeds: Drives incredible data throughput with up to 2700MB/s read and 2500MB/s write limits, clearing complex data offloading queues instantly.
-
Proprietary Dual-Mode Connectivity Layer: Seamless cross-platform architecture interfaces flawlessly with both high-bandwidth Thunderbolt 3 and standard USB 3.2 Gen 2 hosts.
-
IP68 Extreme Dust & Waterproof Rating: Sealed physical layout withstands full water submersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes, keeping data uncompromised under heavy rain.
-
Industrial 3-Meter Drop & 4000lb Crush Resistance: Reinforced structural aluminum core absorbs high-velocity impacts and intense pressure loads cleanly.
-
Advanced Cool-Running Thermal Core: Heavy-duty internal cooling architecture spreads thermal weight evenly to eliminate data throttling during extended rendering cycles.
-
SanDisk Professional PRO-G40 4TB Rugged SSD Assembly x 1
-
SanDisk Original High-Bandwidth Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) Type-C Connectivity Cable x 1

(Note: Specialized add-ons like high-speed multi-slot card readers, Mac mini M4 compute modules, and high-capacity portable power banks are available for add-on rent separately at our Hong Kong studio.)
-
Q: Are high-speed memory card readers, laptop computers, or data management software licenses included inside this standard rental listing?
A: No, they are not. This specific rental listing covers the standalone SanDisk Professional PRO-G40 4TB external drive and its high-bandwidth connectivity cable only. It is intentionally priced for DIT technicians, agency editors, or production teams who already run their own compute rigs and readers and simply require ultra-fast, rugged external storage target drives on set. If your crew requires an independent data management station, please remember to add our high-speed card readers, Mac mini M4 compute modules, or Thunderbolt 4 docking stations to your Hong Kong gear allocation.
-
Q: What is the exact operational advantage of renting this “PRO-G40” model over a standard portable SSD drive for a high-stakes commercial shoot?
A: Standard portable SSD drives suffer from two major production bottlenecks: thermal throttling and connectivity limitations. Most consumer drives experience sharp speed drops after writing large files due to heat buildup, and true Thunderbolt-only drives will completely fail to mount if plugged into a basic USB-C port. The PRO-G40 completely removes these risks by pairing a dual-mode chip controller with an internal aluminum cooling core. It guarantees sustained, unthrottled 2500MB/s write speeds across the entire 4TB capacity, and it will mount flawlessly on both premium Thunderbolt workstations and legacy USB-C laptops without error.
-
Q: Is this 4TB external drive delivered pre-formatted for Apple macOS or Microsoft Windows, and can we safely reformat it on set?
A: Our rental fleet units are typically pre-formatted in exFAT or APFS format, ensuring instant cross-platform compatibility with Apple macOS systems right out of the box. Your production crew has full authorization to reformat the internal file system structure on set to align with your specific DIT pipeline (such as HFS+ or NTFS). We simply kindly request that your technical team safely wipes your data off the drive before returning the hardware asset to our studio.
-
Q: How is the rental fee calculated?
A: The rental fee is calculated on a 24-hour basis per rental period at Dream Scenes Studio Hong Kong.
-
Q: Is a deposit required?
A: Yes, a corresponding deposit is required for all equipment rentals in HK.
-
Q: What payment methods are accepted for the deposit?
A: We accept credit card authorization for the deposit, which is fast and convenient for local and international crews.
