Review on G-Technology 500GB G-DRIVE Mobile Pro SSD: Portable Thunderbolt 3 External Storage by Matt Norwood

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Quickly. Very rarely there are minor problems.

This is an incredibly fast SSD, tested to be much faster than the 2TB in my 2017 15" MBP. Works best with the included Thunderbolt 3 cable connected directly to the TB3 port of the MBP is connected. good from OWC, the drive sometimes disconnects or gives read errors Please note that this is not limited to USB-C computers, USB-C cables connected to a TB3 port, or a computer with Thunderbolt 1 or 2 works with Apple TB2 to TB3 adapter and TB2 cable as Apple has not deigned to use a TB2 to TB3 adapter for power although the cable could. This drive actually only works for a system that fully supports Thunderbolt 3.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • little things
