This is my second G-Drive and I love it! They are compact and fit anywhere around your computer, bag...etc. I can definitely trust this brand because they've never let me down. The drive is very quick at responding as well.

The drive has been very reliable, size and price for the amount of memory are good. Only odd thing is that when using it on a Mac you get two volumes mounting, one of which is has preinstalled software (somewhat unnecessary), the other your actual storage. A little annoying but not a real problem.

Purchased based on reviews and known reliability. Used for my MacBook Air and it was so simple to used. My computer easily detected the hard drive and I was immediately able to transfer and save files to it. I've had zero issues with it! Worth the purchase!!!

This external hard drive has loads of space, is compact and is very fast. I enjoy carrying this one with me on all my business trips. I can use my laptop and have all of my documents backed up while working. I recommend this one to anyone.

I needed a hard drive for my 2019 Macbook Air that I already regret purchasing, but it was the only one I could purchase at the time in need because since I only had the original base storage Apple gave Macbooks I was running out of room after two semesters of college and bought this hard drive after the spring semester ended to store any documents on it and it works really good and easy. Has enough space for documents, videos, photos you may need to get off a device. If you only need an extra 1 TB of storage this works really well, but you can always buy the 2 TB to 4 TB if needed.

This are 1TB drives with a USB c cable, which is perfect for newer laptops and MacBook Pros BBuy rices are great, and I can get them immediately rather than waiting two days.

I got this for my son for his MacBook Pro. It has a fast connection and travels well. Very small--externally. Big internally--lots of room for video files.

I bought this for my new macbook to keep my work files off my computer. It works great , plug and play for macbook. If you want to transfer files from windows to this you need to install the windows file on the harddrive. Very easy to do just install it and it adds a partition and you can add your files. If your using for macbook just plug in and its ready to go. works great, no issues so far. Would recommend if you want to keep all your personal or work files on this. Great buy when on sale.

At the beginning it was slow when I used the MAC-PC option. Later, I clicked just PC option. Things changed dramatically, now it is fast copying from and to. Its weight is light, it is robust, reliable, and can be connected to regular USB port and 3.1. It comes with both connectors included. Very happy to have bought it. It is somewhat expensive but it worth it. I will see how it develops with time, so far few months.

I upgraded from a Seagate External Hard Drive to this one and let's just say things are way better. The USB-C connection makes the backups super fast and pairs easily with Time Machine. The brushed stainless steel and compact design gives it a premium feel. Overall, I'm really happy I spent the extra money to get this one over something cheaper.

The drive is surprisingly thin and light. I was looking for a USB-C drive that was small. I wanted to get a flash drive, but a 1TB flash drive was out of budget. This attracted my attention because of it’s speed for a drive, so I decided to try.
Connecting to my MacBook Pro, this drive is insanely fast. Very happy with the speed! The dimensional drive itself is nice and light/thin, even better to carry on my bag.

Got this for my daughter's Macbook Pro due to a problem with her startup (it kept crashing). We took this drive and her laptop to the Apple Store to recover her data. This drive was Mac-ready right out of the box, no need to reformat. It's a sleek, good looking drive that matches her Macbook and runs great!
