    I'm currently using on a 2013 Mac Pro. I should have looking into this more before I bought this, but since this is the USB C version, I had us USB 3.0 connection. Had I got the thunderbolt 3 version I could us the apple connector that converts to thunderbolt 2. But either way its still fast and works great for backup and storage.

    This is the first G Drive I have ever bought. My work uses this brand to edit video and audio from which led me to buy this one for my computer. I'm not super fond of the USB-C cable it came with so I switched it with a different one that seems to stay in better. The transfer speeds are awesome and super easy to edit video with. It doesn't power a computer though which is fine. I love it and it is definitely the first of many.

    This is a good drive but only has a 5400 rpm drive in it. I can’t use for editing but will use for storage. Was on sale with 50.00 off. Can’t beat the price!

    This is a nice backup external hard drive, it only has a 5400 RPM drive in it but it copies fast so I don't see that being an issue.

    Was looking for a drive for backup of our iMac. I settled for this as it was the highest transfer speed available at the time, it also looks a lot better than the cheaper drives. I originally was using a western digital usb2.0 drive for backup. It took 3 to 4 hours to backup. With this new drive I am cutting it to 45 min. Great and would recommend.

    I love this hard drive. I have many as I work as a photographer. This thing is a beast. I power my Mac Book Pro with it, therefore eliminating the long white power cord. It’s super fast, reliable and it looks cool. I’m only buying these drives for all of my work. It’s very important for me to have a reliable drive as I deal with clients.

    I love it. This drive is fast and I use it for music while at weddings, graduations, and all other events. I DJ on the side and this drive hasn’t failed me yet. I’m happy enough with it that I bought a second one and plan to add another dj to the team

    I've been a fan of G-Technology drives for several years. I bought this drive to replace an Apple Airport Time Capsule that I used for backups. I have found its USB-C connection to give much better performance than Ethernet. It is quiet, and works very well with Apple's Time Machine.
