Use the USB-C port to provide up to 85 W of power to compatible laptops while connected.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term operation in production environments, place the G-RAID SHUTTLE 4 on a stable surface, ensure proper ventilation, and perform periodic backups even when using RAID. Replace failed drives with identical enterprise-class Ultrastar units and rebuild the RAID array according to SanDisk’s service guidelines.
