G-Technology 1TB G-DRIVE Mobile USB-C (USB 3.1) Portable External Hard Drive, Space Gray - 0G10265

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 had an older, powered external drive from the same company that failed after 3.5 years. Since I’d had good luck with some other USB non-powered drives I thought I’d give this a try. Initially my iMac recognized the drive immediately. I file share with my Mac Mini (which serves as my dedicated music server) and when I plugged the drive into my Mac Mini it failed to mount on my desktop. Back to the iMac, same problem! I had to restart the computer and then it mounted on the desktop. Off to the Home Theater room and bingo! I don’t know why it was so problematic for both Macs to recognize the drive properly but now, after 3 days of use it seems to work fine as my dedicated drive to hold all of my music files. It’s quiet, sleek and matches my Mac Mini!

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!

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.

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.

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

I bought this HD to go along with my mac mini. I love that its USB C so I know that I would get faster read and write speeds. I plugged it in and it worked awesome and Time Machine was a breeze. I dont even hear them. The only way I know they are working is because of the LED light. I also love the design and color. I feel they wanted to match Apple colors which was another reason I got these. Actually I got 2 of them. And they both work flawless. I have them hidden and double sided taped on my wall. They are always in use. I use one for my backups and one for my Photo Editing. Great product. Im thinking of buying another soon for my MacBook air. I highly recommend to anyone.
