SanDisk Professional PRO-BLADE STATION - Thunderbolt 3

The SanDisk Professional PRO-BLADE STATION is designed exclusively for SanDisk PRO-BLADE SSD M.2 NVMe SSD mags.

No, the PRO-BLADE STATION requires the proprietary SanDisk PRO-BLADE SSD mags due to their unique form factor and enclosure design.

The PRO-BLADE STATION supports transfer speeds of up to 3000MB/s read and 2600MB/s write, provided compatible PRO-BLADE SSDs and a Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) connection are used.

The SanDisk Professional PRO-BLADE STATION is sold as an enclosure and does not include PRO-BLADE SSD mags. These must be purchased separately.

It is compatible with Mac OS X 10.13 High Sierra and later, as well as Windows 10 and Windows 11.

The PRO-BLADE STATION features flow-through active ventilation designed to cool the PRO-BLADE SSD mags, helping to maintain high-speed performance during demanding tasks.

While not explicitly designed for daisy-chaining multiple STATION units, you can connect multiple PRO-BLADE SSD mags to a single STATION and use Thunderbolt to connect the STATION to your computer.

Ensure the SSD mag is fully inserted into the slot. Try a different slot. Restart the PRO-BLADE STATION and your computer. Verify the SSD mag is formatted and compatible.

Confirm you are using a Thunderbolt 3 cable and port. Check that the PRO-BLADE SSDs are functioning correctly and not experiencing thermal throttling (ensure ventilation is clear). Close unnecessary applications on your computer that may be consuming resources.

Check the Thunderbolt cable connection at both ends. Ensure your computer's Thunderbolt drivers are up to date. Try a different Thunderbolt port on your computer or a different Thunderbolt cable.

Ensure the active ventilation system is clear of obstructions. Operate the device in a cooler environment. Verify that the PRO-BLADE SSDs are properly seated to maximize cooling contact.
