Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the G-DRIVE 6TB External USB-C Hard Drive's large storage capacity, which is great for storing various files and backing up data. The USB-C connectivity is also praised for its ease of use, especially with Mac computers. However, some customers noted that the drive can be noisy and generate noticeable heat during operation, while others found it larger than anticipated. The size and need for a power outlet may limit its portability.

    SSDs are the way to go for larger files

    I personally haven’t used HDDs for a few years and was looking for a decently sized desktop hard drive to store raw image files and 4K footage which I currently store on expensive portable SSDs — and unfortunately the write speeds are just way too slow for my workflow, so I’ll be going for a dedicated SSD raid (or similar solution) for my needs here on out. Transferring files from a 2TB portable SSD to this HDD was literally taking hours, so I just need a faster solution.

    I am sure the product is excellent but the clerk at the store sold us this and it is for a MAC. It says it can be reformatted to be used with other operating systems but when Geek squad arrived and reformatted it, it wouldn't work the way we wanted it to function so we had to return it and purchased an easystore external hard drive.

    Sleep Issues

    This is a solid piece of equipment with a lot of storage, but I'm disappointed that it tends to "go to sleep" often and takes a long time to "wake up" when needing to access files on the drive.
