   I am very happy with how fast they delivered I ordered my product Sunday evening and received a text that I would get it on Tuesday but it came late Monday morning I was very pleased with that.

   I am in the process of upgrading my entire collection of backup drives and changing my backup storage approach. While my current G-Tech G-Drive mobile 750GB drives with FW800 and USB 2 continue to work perfectly after years of use, I am transitioning to the faster, higher capacity 1TB/USB 3 G-Tech mobile drives for convenience. I will use this drive as a computer backup and store it in an offsite safe deposit box. Future drives will be my carry along drives when working away from home. This external drive has a small footprint, and I believe it is thinner than the FW800/USB 2 or Thunderbolt mobile drives. These drives are very reliable. I’ve had great success with other G-Tech drives and expect nothing less with this one. One thing to note, this drive has a slight tacky feel. At first, this bothered me; however, I think it is a safety mechanism to help prevent the drive from slipping out of your hand. I plan to purchase a few more in the near future.

   So far Ive purchased four of these 4TB drives for mobile backups, and have not been disappointed. A couple of similar Seagate drives failed on me, so I started looking for other options. The LaCie drives are overpriced in my opinion, and Glyph does not sell a 4TB USB-powered portable drive. I was reassured to learn G-Tech is backed by the Western Digital name and quality. Ive been using internal WD drives with no issues for years. Ill be buying more of these G-Tech mobile drives for sure.

   When this showed up free for buying another larger drive everyone in the office wanted it . . . convenient and fast.

   I purchased the 1TB G-Drive portable 7200 RPM hard drive to create more space on my laptop’s hard disk. I moved iTunes there and eventually will move my Photos application there too. It’s so easy to set up, all I had to do was connect it. No need to configure it or install software on my laptop. It’s small, lightweight, and attractive. Hardly makes any noise and is easy to store out of the way when not in use. Also, my cat likes to sleep on it for some reason, even when it’s not plugged in and warm. Mystery.

   I purchased this product for backing up purposes for my mac. Straight out of the box and plugged in and away she worked. Super easy, light and compact. Great product for saving my information.

   I wasted my money in this piece of crap that last just over a year. I will never purchase anything from G-Technology, I used this thing once a month and it rarely got moved around yet it failed. Stay away from this outdated tech.

    I have used G-Technology external drives for years. I swapped out an older drive for this G-Technology G-Drive mobile USB-C drive for use as an Apple Mac Time Machine backup drive. I have this connected to the Apple Thunderbolt Display using the G-Technology provided cables. The drive is quiet. Even though I have it setting within feet, I do not hear the drive working and even check the most recent backup time to make sure. The drive is cool to the touch even though it is backing up my information regularly. Ive not had any problems with the drive and do not expect to experience any complications. The drive has been backing up my information for over two weeks now and I expect the drive to continue working for years to come. I strongly recommend this product and G-Technology products in general.

    This is the second G-Technology external HD I buy, this time for a friend who needed to set-up Time Machine for a Mac (she has another one). I’m really satisfied with this drive; it’s incredibly compact and quiet. Just plug and play right away! It comes with two USB 3.1 cable options to choose from (C to C and C to A). Although there’s no need to install any drivers or software, you will have to remove a Windows-related file to have the drive completely free for all your Mac stuff.

    I bought to back up lightroom but incorrectly thought 1 TB was sufficient but now need to buy a 2 TB. Seems to work O K. I bought this brand because it is supposed to work easily with a MAC

    This is one of the best External drives I’ve had in a long time. It works well on my iMac and I’m happy I made this purchase. Would highly recommend this buy for iMac users. I am a music producer with a lot of large sound library files and for a nine SSD drive it’s very good.UBB3 type C connection is an added bonus. I used it on my windows laptop with type C connector before I reformatted it for my iMac and it worked great.B&H offered a great price for it which initially attracted me to coming to the store to buy it.Thank you B&H I can’t wait to see what else you guys got.The best store for my media and electronics Needs hands down

    I do a lot of artwork in Photoshop and need to make sure I don’t lose any of my precious files. G-Drive makes the best storage devices, reliable, easy to use, and to store. I always feel confident that with G-Drive I’ll have access to my artwork when I need it.

    An easy swap out. Plug in and push a few key strokes and she is up and running, doubling my backup memory.

    This is a great drive, I transferred 200 GB of photos to this drive in 15 mins. I was impressed with the speed. I’m using a Macbook Pro and I have had no issues with this drive. It is a perfect size to carry around, lightweight, and great price.
