Product Overview
The SanDisk Professional G-DRIVE ArmorATD is a portable external hard drive designed for file storage, backup, and transport. This exact 1TB configuration is identified by model number SDPH81G-001T-GBA1D and UPC 718037902623. It uses a 2.5-inch hard-disk drive inside a portable enclosure with an external protective bumper intended to provide additional physical protection during normal mobile use.
The drive connects through USB-C and uses a USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface with transfer support up to 5 Gbps at the interface level. It can also connect to USB-A systems through the included cable. The 1TB version measures approximately 5.12 × 3.43 × 0.93 inches and weighs about 0.56 pounds. It is formatted for compatible macOS systems and can be reformatted for compatible Windows systems. The product is intended for photographers, content creators, travelers, and other users who need portable storage without depending on network connectivity. Capacity is configuration-specific, so the 1TB barcode should not be transferred to the 2TB, 4TB, 5TB, or 6TB versions.
