SanDisk Professional G-Drive is rugged & reliable
The SanDisk Professional G-Drive works great. I have been using it for about a month and have not noticed any lag in performance, like other external drives. I purchased the 2 terabyte capacity to ensure adequate storage for backups on my MacBook Pro. Oh, not to mention, the SanDisk G-Drive is enclosed in a rugged case to easily withstand drops and shield it from debris. I highly recommend the SanDisk Professional G-Drive.

Great product and price
My old external hard drive failed so I started looking around for the best deal and option. Best Buy came through again as it has many times in the past. Great price and great unit. It was easy to set up and has many options
