Not sure if this is useful at all as it doesn't use advertised ports.

I haven't had this drive for a very long time, it doesn't work as USB 3.0 only as 2.0. Not sure if this is useful at all as it doesn't use the advertised ports. I've tried several different machines and OS's but it never connects to 3.0 so it's basically a 2.0 drive branded 3.0. Formatting never goes as smoothly as advertised, or the G drive is obviously busy. I like this case, but I could use any drive in the case. I'm not impressed with this drive at all, I need to look for a better option.

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Good but not great

Excellent Portable HD

The product is amazing! His body is very durable and at the same time not heavy at all! USB 3.0 makes a big difference. I was able to back up 50GB of photos and videos very quickly. And they arrived exactly at the specified date and time.

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • ---

Buyer Warning. r technology will not help. Hard Drive Error

I have had this drive since August and it has failed several times. The case stopped working less than 2 months after purchase, so I removed the drive and started using it with the 3.0 cable that came with it. The hard drive has failed and is no longer connected. Contacted G Technology and they were of no help. Told me to pay $100 to have another company recover my files first and then just format the drive. This drive isn't that old, it shouldn't lose data and have a case that doesn't work and

Pros
  • Easy Setup
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Case = Unusable - Storage

The main advantage for me was the solid case, but poor design rendered it useless. The constant flexing of this wrapped cable quickly gave me the dreaded "removed without pulling" warning, and indeed it was the cable. 2 stars because I can still use the wireless drive with my own cable.

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Makes me angry

G-Technology does good.

I bought this external drive because of my great experience with another large G-Tech external drive that I use as my Mac Time Machine backup. G-Drives are pre-formatted for use with Apple computers. Connect G-Drive to your Mac and you're good to go. This particular G-Drive acts as my photo archive. I bought it because it's portable and comes with a fairly durable waterproof case. Even the USB 3.0 port has a rubberized connector. This is a 7200 RPM drive, so data transfer is fast considering…

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Some bugs
