High performance with flawless storage Macs

I liked this drive so much, I purchased a second drive for my new Mac Studio. For years, I worked with USB pocket drives, but this drive has greatly improved my home computing experience. I partitioned half for TimeMachine, and half for my still and video photography. Install and setup was seamless, and I've had flawless performance since using both of these drives...one new, the original over the course of year.

Unfortunately there is no thunderbolt 2 to thunderbolt 3 connection available so the only way to connect to my MAC is usb c.

So Far So Good - Fast & Quiet
on July 6, 2021

I originally purchased this drive purely to store unused media files and completed video projects since I already have a SSD drive that I edit directly off of. However after testing the G-Drive I found that I’m able to edit 4k 120P video directly off this G-Drive without using proxies or transcoding. For context I’m editing XAVC S, 4K 120p, 8-bit video on a MacBook Pro connected via thunderbolt to the G-Drive. The speeds aren’t AS fast as my SanDisk Extreme SSD but it’s fast enough for my use-case which is all that matters. I haven’t done any accurate speed testing but in general it took about 45 mins to transfer 1TB of video data from my SSD to this G-Drive.
The G-Drive Pro is also capable of daisy chaining drives so I’m able to connect my SSD to the G-Drive which is super convenient since all the ports on my Mac are now occupied. Ive only had the drive for a couple days but so far it does everything I need and looks great in the process. If the reliability is solid I’ll definitely be adding more to my setup in the future.
