Sandisk / Western - don't bother

One of many broken HDs from Sandisk. Unfortunately after Western Digital purchased the company, I really think the quality fell apart of Sandisk. I have a couple other Sandisk SSDs and one of them has crashed whereas the other unmounts randomly. This was dead on arrival what I opened it to mount onto a computer. I don't think I'll ever buy a Sandisk or Western Digital product ever again.
I've already submitted a ticket via Sandisk, but I hardly think I'll get support. It won't mount on my windows computer or show up on disk partition.

G-Drive is a Quality Brand

G-Technology G-Drives are a go-to trusted brand for hard drives. Have used several of these over the last few years and never had any issues. The read and write speeds are great for transferring large video files quickly & editing video directly off the drive is seamless.

My eight year old backup drive died. The Geek Dquad checked it out and recommended a new one. They walked me through the DanDisk Professional drive and I could not be happier that all is saved

I needed a hard drive that was adaptable both for mac and pc as I would be going back and forth between the two and this hard drive was able to accommodate both.
