    This is just yet another normal Portable HDD with SATA but not an SSD which was misleading earlier. It is highly priced being a normal HDD, it is a pity

    Been using this for about a month with Logic Pro. Wanted an affordable 7200 RPM external drive. No problems so far. The hard plastic casing is a nice addition.

    I am disappointed with the Best Buy employee and the g-drive product. Purchased for my college student before he left to study overseas. We specifically asked for a simple, but powerful plug in external hard drive for his school lap top during his travels. After we confirmed we do NOT have a MAC, “This is the top of the line” the employee said. So we purchased it. Well it comes factory formatted for Apple. My son can’t even use it. He has tried the YouTube videos showing how to reformat but it’s not working. I purchased in April. He returns in sept. How much you want to bet Best Buy does not let me return it?!?
