Western Digital boosts capacity for their stylish G-Raid and G-Drive systems

By Tim Levy | 10 July 2025

Western Digital (WD) is renowned for the handsome, rugged housings they create for their storage solutions. Where most hard drive casings look very 'office', WD are far more stylish and look more akin to something you might see in a sci-fi movie.

Today, Western Digital has introduced new high-capacity hard drives across its G-RAID / G-DRIVE Professional product lines thanks to a new 26TB HD product. These updates aim to give creative professionals and businesses more reliable space for storing, editing, and backing up large files.

The WD Red Pro 26TB, the G-RAID SHUTTLE 4, and the G-RAID SHUTTLE 8 (images not to matching scale)
