The new SanDisk Professional line combines the legacies of the world-renown SanDisk consumer brand as well as the pro-oriented G-Technology brand, which has been the storage choice of Hollywood professionals for decades. The SanDisk Professional lineup now comprises 16 modular workflow products with professional-grade performance and enterprise-class reliability. The first products under the new SanDisk Professional name are the PRO-CINEMA CFexpress VPG400 card, PRO-READERs, and PRO-DOCK 4 Thunderbolt 3 reader docking station.

They are designed to work with latest and most common camera media including CFastTM, CFexpress, RED Mini-Mag, CF, microSDTM, and SDTM cards.

Additionally there’s a PRO-DOCK 4, a new 4-bay reader docking station that provides a scalable solution for offloading data, especially when working with multiple cameras. The station allows content creators to simultaneously offload from four cards.
