    The G-Drive was a gift for me and I was very happy to get it. I am always saving too much stuff in my phone, but with this items 1 Terabyte of storage, I can’t imagine ever filling it. The drive is very small and easy to use.

    I normally go with a SanDisk Extreme, but this guy was on sales so I took a gamble based on other reviews. So far so good. I am pushing 4K video over to it and using it as my disk for editing in Premiere.

    Very impressive performance initially, even though the drive was pretty hot to the touch. Now it is literally the slowest drive on my PC, almost reminds me of a floppy drive. I've tried new cables, reversing the cables, running Windows disk diagnostics, different USB ports... I'm pretty sure the drive is toast at this point, need to RMA it...

    My video mixer only records to SSD drives, so I went looking for a drive that I can recored to as well as edit off of so I made the purchase. Its one of. the best things I could've done for myself. This drive is super fact and reliable. I went with this brand because I use this external hard dives that have never let me down.

    I really like G Drive. This is the first time using this product. It is really great except... the G Drive gets warm when you are using it. If you are uploading pictures, videos, ETC... Its gets Warm and sometimes hot. I did some research the G Drive get warm and hot if you leave it plug in your device that you're using.

    My husband has just started using this drive and he loves it. Initially his surface didn’t want to talk to it, but once he caught on, he was up and running. Tickled with his purchase.

    Great compact SSD to hold backup images off my main hard drive. It's only 2"x4" so it's smaller than a deck of cards.

    I’m honestly surprised i did have this drive before , and slowly over time it started to fail and be slow, guess it’s a lemon or bad software for the drive ?
