Photography Workflow Solutions
Whether you’re capturing images of wildlife, fashion models or getting that epic drone aerial shot, you need to back up your footage. Most pros practice a 3-2-1 backup system, which means that they always have 3 copies of their footage to prevent losing anything. SanDisk Professional's pro-grade solutions support photographers from capture to edit with rugged, portable SSDs to powerful RAID drives.
People are investing in you to shoot their campaign or magazine editorial, […] so I’m really insistent about backing up, because I never want to lose data again. I love the portability, very light weight, and durability of the G-DRIVE SSD Mobile drives. When you’re shooting on location, it’s really important to be mobile.
– Ambassador, Dixie Dixon
Offload and Backups
It’s crucial to check your footage and back up after every shoot. Anything can happen when you’re in the field from bad weather accidents to lost baggage in travel. Most photographers have 3 copies that travel separately just in case one gets lost. SanDisk Professional rugged portable hard drives and SSDs are designed to survive the roughest terrains with IP rain and dust ratings, 2000lb crush resistance, and drop resistance. For faster transfers, check out the G-DRIVE SSD. For more capacity, learn more about G-DRIVE ArmorATD, which goes up to 5TB!
Editing and Archiving
Editing is where the magic happens. As RAW images get larger with better camera technology, it’s important to have a storage workflow that is designed to handle your RAW footage. SanDisk Professional's desktop solutions are designed with your editing workflow in mind. We recommend the G-DRIVE PRO as your go-to scratch disk or the G-RAID 2 if you’re looking for redundancy. For heavier workflows, look into the G-RAID Shuttle solutions. All G-RAID Shuttles are engineered with enterprise-class drives, customizable RAID options, and ev Bay Adapters4 you can customize to make offload and copying footage easy.
