G-Technology 24TB G-Raid with Thunderbolt 3, USB-C (USB 3.1 Gen 2), and HDMI,-Removable Dual-Drive Storage System, Silver – 0G05768-1

I have used G-Tech drives for close to 15 years. They are built solid for a desktop use and I usually don't travel with them because of how heavy they are and so for that purpose I will use SSDs. This 28TB tends to be loud but that's because the fans are usually always running unless it's in standby mode. I'm okay with the fan noise because I know my files will be okay as this thing stays cool. I use this one mainly for media file backups while I edit with an additional G-tech alongside. They are both fast and suitable for heavy video files.The tech support has always been very responsive, friendly and knowledgeable when I needed them or had questions. I had an issue where one of the removable drives wasn't responsive when I first purchased the unit and so I filed a case with tech support and they got back to me right away. Not only was it a pleasant conversation but they troubleshoot with me why it occurred and I was back in business in no time. Saved my butt and kept my client and that's why I will always purchase products from this company.

Easy to set up, works fine so far. You can hear it, but not too loud.

High Pithced squealing noise even when in sleep mode. When actually using, it's even louder than just a basic WD Raid drive. If you don't mind being completely annoyed while using feel free to buy it.

It's quieter then I expected. Also I have Raid'd it to 1 because I need to protect certain files. Currently no issues.

I've been a G-Technology fan ever since I purchased my first G-Drive back in 2012 when I started my photography business. About 4 years ago, I started doing video and found that the G-RAID was blazing fast, which was perfect for editing RED Digital Camera footage. The reasons why I like G-Raids/G-Drives: 1)so simple to use. Literally, just unbox. Plug in the cables. Turn on power. Copy files onto device. Simple. Simple. Simple. 2) They don't fail. I have some very high end clients that includes many celebrities and I can't afford for anything to go wrong. That's why I trust G-Technology. Dependable. Trustworthy and they get the job done. The industrial-looking brushed aluminum container look classy, elegant and timeless. Modern and sophisticated. I just had to retrieve a file from 5 years ago. And BOOM..... the G-Drive booted up just like it was brand new. You can't go wrong with G-Technology.
