    Well, I have used this drive for a bit now. So far it has been great and its fast. Yes, I do recommend this. It is small, powerful and portable. Plus 4 TB for the prize and been a G-Technolgy, can't beat that!

    This is my 2nd purchase of this product, I stopped purchasing drives of other brand names since an 8TB drive failed 3 years ago. This drive looks quite sturdy and the build quality is very nice. It is quite interesting that the writing speed of the two 4GB drives I own are different, one is faster @150MB/s, the other is about 130MB/s. I haven't tried swapping different usb port yet, anyway, when there's a need for more storage, I'll consider buying Gdrives first.

    This replaced an aging Apple Time Capsule since Apple no longer offers them. Easy installation and set up. Works flawlessly just as the Time Capsule did. Truly plug & play. Perfect!

    Exactly what I needed and easy set up! My office is in my bedroom so the light in the front is kind of bright at night. I just cover it with a small towel. Otherwise it’s great.

    I replaced a WD hard drive with this for my iMac and it works great! It’s fast so time machine backups fly there is also a switch to turn it off if you want. It has a 3 year warranty. Nicely built.
