I bought this compact external hard drive specifically for travel use. I was concerned that it would not be compatible with my 2011 MacBook but it worked fine. The cable connections seem pretty sturdy between the hd and the laptop. Overall I'm very content with the product for the quality and price.

A very good external drive; very fast with USB Type-C interface. I had no problems purchasing, receiving, unpacking, configuring and using the drive. The only minor issue I had (this is why 4 stars) that the drive came formatted for Mac; I needed it for Windows. Manufacturer's web site provided detailed instructions on how to clean/initialize/format the drive, and this helped to prepare it for my environment. I left the drive formatted as NTFS (I don't plan to use it with Mac computers), and it works just fine. Another (minor) issue is that the cables provided as part of the packaging could be a few inches longer - many desktop computers have USB ports located in the back, and the cables are barely long enough to reach them. Overall, I'm happy with the drive, and hope it lasts long time. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for moderately priced, high capacity fast external storage.

First off, G-Tech is the best. I trust all my photo and video for work on their drives, big and small. These are my favorite to travel with because I get a TB in a nice slim drive that I can pack in any bag and do some photo editing on the go. Reliable, fast, and portable!
