Western Digital Showcases Its Unified G-DRIVE Lineup at Computex 2026

Western Digital showcased its refreshed G-DRIVE professional external storage lineup at Computex 2026 following its relaunch back in February as a unified brand. The lineup spans portable to rackmount-style storage solutions. At the top of the lineup sits the G-DRIVE 8 supporting up to 224 TB of capacity and featuring eight-bay hardware RAID. The WD G-DRIVE 4 is a four-bay model offering up to 80 TB of storage. Both models feature hardware RAID and Thunderbolt 5, daisy-chaining for up to six devices and an e-ink display. Western Digital plans for a release in early 2027.

The G-DRIVE 2 has a dual-bay configuration with storage capacity up to 56 TB. It also kept the Thunderbolt 5 connectivity, six-device daisy-chaining and the integrated e-ink display. It is expected in early 2027.

The Western Digital G-DRIVE 1 is more of an entry-level desktop storage version offering a single bay supporting Ultrastar HDDs up to 28 TB. Users can stack them one on top of another and they also have an integrated carry handle. Specs are completed by Thunderbolt 5 connectivity, daisy-chaining support and the always-on e-ink display for drive labeling and status information. Availability is scheduled for late 2026.

The G-DRIVE ArmorATD is the portable option offering up to 6 TB in a triple-layer shock-resistant aluminium enclosure with IP54 dust and water protection.
