G-Technology - G-DRIVE USB 3.0 6TB Desktop Hard Drive - Silver
- Key Specs
- Storage Capacity: 6000 gigabytes (Measured in megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB) and terabytes (TB), this is the amount available for storing files, music, movies, photos and more. The total includes the capacity of the hard disk drive and solid state drive if both are included on the computer.)
- Storage Drive Type: HDD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Rotational Speed: 7200 revolutions per minute (The rate at which the hard drive spins its platters. The higher the rotational speed, the faster the drive can read and write data.)
- Interface(s): USB Type B (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

Q: Can I install and run Microsoft Office on this hard drive?
A: Microsoft Office and usual system software applications are generally installed on the primary internal drive of the computer. External drives such as this one are best when used to store files to work off and/or back-ups then up on the external drive. Hope this helps to answer your questions.

Q: Can I use g drive as backup attached to my AirPort Extreme
A: As AirPort Extreme is being, or has already been "discontinued", my guess is that it "may" not work. However, that would not necessarily mean that it "will" not work. HLS2

Q: Can this be used with a gaming console? (ps4, xbox one, etc).
A: Not sure why the other user said no; you can absolutely use this with a game console. It's just an external hard drive. Only difference with this and other smaller external drives, like MyPassports, is it needs to plug into AC Power and at 7200rpm, it's actually a bit faster.
Q: Can I use this as my new bootable Drive w operating system
A: undefined
