G-Technology 1TB G-DRIVE mobile USB-C (USB 3.1 Gen 1) Portable External Hard Drive, Silver - 0G10264

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 needed to back up my Mac computer. I had TONS of photos that were taking up too much space on my hard drive. I bought this back up drive last year and backed up an old computer. I ordered a second one last week to back up my current computer. It's fast and can store a lot of pix. Love it!

This drive worked right out of the box for my 2018 MacBook Pro running Mac OS 10.15.2, Catalina. Good quality product.

I have purchased all of my hard drives from Amazon, but I had not purchased a new one for at least a couple of years. When I did my new Mac Mini set up, I decided to purchase a 2 TB hard drive to add to it. When it arrived, I thought something was wrong. Surely they had given me the wrong size! The photo shows the new drive next to the 256 GB LaCie Rugged that I purchased about five or six years ago – which still works on my old computer by the way – and I was blown away by the difference in size.It connected easily to my new Mini, and the computer saw it right away. I was able to partition it with no problem and it has proven, so far at least, to be quite a workhorse and incredibly fast. I am always amazed at the speed of the evolution of technology, and this is definitely no exception. Recommended.

The product itself works very well. In this case the manufacturer/distributor assumes that users know how to make the drive work on an iOS device. There are no instructions included that I could find. It would be great if a YouTube link was provided for iPAD applications, as it would have saved me a bit of time to find a video that explained the correct operation.

This is the 4th Gdrive I've purchased. Very fast, excellent for Time Machines. Excellent backup speeds. I've had no reliability issues.

Perfect for my needs!Very pleased!

..it's why I bought it.This newest G-drive is being used as my local backup drive for a Surface laptop. I have an older G-Tech external drive I've been using (for many years) as my Time Machine backup for my Mac. I also have a third G-Tech portable external drive (mounted in a shock resistant, water proof casing) I use for local backup of my photo library.I have read of G-Tech reliability; they trend as the preferred choice of professionals (videographers and photographers in particular). The reputation of G-Tech drives seems to be quite good and my experience thus far has done nothing to make me think otherwise. G-Tech drives tend to cost a little more but, IMHO, their consistent reliability makes it worth it.And that's why I bought this one; it's a G-Tech.

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

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!!
