What users say about it:
“This drive is very easy to use. I needed one for video editing and storing raw footage and mp4 files. This was easy to use on multiple computers, has plenty of room for all my files and is fast a processing as well.”
“A 2 TB drive that is easy to setup with usb 2.0 and eSata. Nice complements to my flac/wav musice and hi resolution photos.”
“There are a number of different features that have impressed me on this product. To begin with, it is elegantly styled and fits perfectly in with the desktop I own. Incidentally, it came ready-to-use out of the box with the operating system I use (Mac OSX) so it could not have been easier to set up. Functionally, it holds a huge amount of data and copies files in moments. I have even found it to handle well working directly onto files stored on it. This is important for big video files: instead of moving them to the desktop or keeping them stored on the computer’s hard drive, they can remain on the G-Drive, the Firewire-800 connection updates and saves in no time and with no hassle. I look forward to using more and more storage space, and perhaps even to coming to the end of the 2TB, but I don’t think it will ever happen. Since I have only had the product for about seven months, the jury is still out on longevity, but I buy products to last and was willing to pay a bit more for this hard drive for the very reason that it struck me as a quality unit and one that would hold up over time. Let’s certainly hope it does; I have high hopes and a pretty good sense it will. Thank you, G-Technology, for an excellent overall product.”
“I’ve owned this for almost two years now and it works like a champ. It’s one of my main editing/storage drives and I’ve never had any problems, even when I had to reformat it to run on a windows machine. I will be buying more in the future.”
“The G Drive I purchased works very well. I am a musician and i needed a durable, portable hard drive from some midi filies, which is why i purchased your product. It has, so far, exceeded all my expectation.”
Price: It is available for $230 (2 TB), $300 (3 TB), $350 (4 TB).
