    i really like this external hard drive, i thought it would charge my 15 inch macbook pro while backing up and i would not have to use the charger at the same time to take up 2 ports, but its fast and gives me all the space i need, looks great on my desk

    This drive is very quiet and very efficient in backing up my computer hard drive. This is my second G-Technology drive. The first one lasted 6 years. It performed spectacularly. It bought a new iMac and it completely restored all it contained to my new hard drive. As far as getting a new back up drive, I never considered any other brand. G-Tech is the best.

    I Purchased this as a back up drive to a new iMac. It is formatted to work with Mac and immediately and easily set up with time capsule ( the Apple backup system). I have had it for a couple of months and so far it is backing up my iMac quickly and quietly with no issues. For most regular users… Those of us needing to back up normal day-to-day documents, photos, videos, etc. this is a great option. I see no need for the much more expensive thunderbolt version for an average data user. Save your money, go with this one.

    We are shooting a short for a film festival and are using this drive to transfer our 4k footage. Unfortunately are shooting all exteriors in the sweltering Sacramento triple digit heat. This drive performed superbly and we transferred all our footage back and forth between our editor and the set with no hiccups. This is an amazing drive and excellent price.

    Well constructed external hard drive that is easy to turn off buy a switch in the back. Very quiet operation and very good value for the price per TB. Appearance fits in well in any computer setting. Bought a second one, even though not needed at this time.

    its definitely quick for what it is, I keep photos and catalogs on them and work off it like its an internal drive. I love that the silver matches both my iMac and MacBook Pro. And with MacBook Pro, it acts as a charger while plugged in for storage so I don't need to used both USB ports.

    Love this this great product. I've been needing this SOOOO badly. I do a lot of pictures, videos, and music for local Rock & Metal scene is SoCal. This product has been able to store a lot of material on it, while freeing up tons of space on my computer. If you need a lot storage for your work, hobbies, music, etc; get this product. You'll be thankful you did.

    I’ve used other external drives but the quality of this one is by far the most superior. Heavy metal casing and looks great. I thought it would be much smaller and lighter, bigger and much heavier than I expected. I would definitely recommend this hard drive

    Initially purchased a 5tb seagate drive for use with my new MacBook. It would work for a week or two before failing. After the 3rd time I went searching for a drive created with the Mac in mind. USB-C connected directly to my MacBook and no problems with Time Machine failing to backup since. Nice enclosure, BTW, reformatted the 5tb seagate drive and no problems working with my Windows PC.
