G-Technology 0G10264-1 G-DRIVE Mobile 1 TB with USB-C, Silver

I see that some people have had problems with this drive not working after a few months so I waited before writing this review just in case! Well, I haven't had any problems with it - it's plug and play, super easy to use. I have a Mac and have a couple of G-Drives, both of which have never given me any problems. They're small so they tuck behind the screen nicely and I take one away when I go on hols so that I have access to all my files just in case I get a rushed job request in. Small enough to fit in my handbag when I go away. I take them to all my client meetings along with my laptop and they've not failed me yet. That being said, I look after them, I have never dropped one so I can't say for sure how hardy they'd be if that happened, I also don't try to move them whilst the disk is still whirring away but wait for them to completely disengage from my computer and stop whirring before moving them. I moved house recently so they were tossed around in a box for a bit and still work just fine. Great disk capacity - I use one of them for complete system back-ups, data transfer is quick and easy.

I use this to backup a macbook - I tried a couple of the WD Passport drives, which took forever to back up, then locked up the backup and then couldn't back up more than once and still couldn't get t the original back up - This G Drive (a 3 others) are trouble free, back up every time, quickly and efficiently, no weird back up partitions or other data transfer nonsense, just backed up, all listed all completely accessible, can be PW protected with out fuss too.

Great colours, easy to use and setup, work with Mac running latest software. Bought a warranty just incase and havent needed to use it thankfully. Have tried several of the usual brands (Lacie, WD, Seagate) and had issues with many of them after 6-12 months either dying or wiping my data. So far so good with this though!!

Back up for my computer. I have only just installed the back up so can’t comment on it.

A most discreet hard drive. I like it.

I use it for monthly off site backups, eg i back it up and then leave it round a relatives house.Just plugged in, reformatted to Mac format, job done.I use CCC to do the backups but any other app, Time Machine or indeed just drag and drop would work well as well I'm sure (I already have TM running onto two other disks so dont want all my eggs in the TM basket, I've had it fail on me before)

This is my regular backup drive. I previously bought a rival brand which failed after only three years or so, which itself replaced a still-working (to this day) G-Technology drive whose capacity simply wasn't big enough. And it is optimised for Macs, with software tools that the failed drive only had for Windows.

The review is for the manufacturer.The Hard drive was a month old. The data transfer from my old Macbook to the new Macbook Pro was successfully transferred and migrated with easy access.One day the cable was damaged through transit and the Data could never be found again.Admittedly my digital knowledge is little and my keyboard skills are limited but by asking questions through Amazon, watching YouTube videos, rebooting, searching the net for answers, scanning through instructional manual pages and purchasing specified model cables, it's not been possible to get my data back, so, even though this looks like a robust piece of kit (which I'm sure it is), it's been let down by accessories and not enough product support.

Nice to have a backup option for my MacBook without needing an adapter. Works well and can stay connected for hours, much better than my previous seagate drive.

I've used these drives without issue until now. This one came with worse cords but otherwise seemed identical, except it's louder and sometimes squeals when plugged in.

thanks to the helpful folks that buy Amazon products, I bought this knowing its not an SSD.but the read and write speeds are acceptable, I was able to back up my laptop quite easily.its the most compact HDD I have ever bought, and seen. its almost as small as my SSD I bought like a year ago. its amazing

Worked like a charm... for a few days. Then it made chirping noises and stopped working altogether. The 3 year warrantee is a sham, the return process is clearly designed to make it impossible to return the drive.

Sehr kleines Anzeigenlciht, vom Akkustand, recht schwer, aber sonst okay
