    G-Technology's has a reputation to produce high-performance Thunderbolt drives, and this one has been perfect for my files and backup. The connection to a iMac is simple and speedy with Thunderbolt!

    I bought this hard drive to use as a back up for my mac mini. I use time machine for the back up process. I pulled it out of the box, plugged it in, turned it on, and it immediately showed up on my mac's desktop. Flawless as it should be. Runs great!! There is a small light that lights up under the G icon when it is turned on. Slight noise when it is on but nothing that is bother some for me. Love this product.

    Very cool looking in the dark. Killer front panel with bright light. Drive is built like a tank and operates silently at high speed. I bought two of them and plan to buy more.

    I'm a couple months in to owning this guy- so far so good. Thunderbolt, Usb 3.0, and 7200rpm internal drive make this drive solid. Would've been nice to have two Thunderbolt ports to allow daisy chaining, but for the price, still great.

    Unless it walked itself out of the package and hooked itself up, it gets 4 stars. It does what it's supposed to do. It's stores stuff. :)

    I use this external drive to backup and transfer large video files from my home computer to work place. Very ridgid so I do not worry about damage. Also the bright color makes it stand out to find easily. No need to worry about running out of storage. Very helpful on productivity!!
