I have had G-Drives before and really liked them. However, with the newer model I've been experiencing occasional notifications on my Apple MacBook Pro that say "Disc not properly ejected" even though the drive is still connected to my computer. But the G-Drive icon is indeed missing as though the connection was disrupted. I have another G-Drive, 6 months old, (G-Drive with Thunderbolt 3, 10T) and the same thing has happened with that model too. It started happening so frequently after 6 months of use that I've quit using it.

Very sturdy and well-made. The space gray aluminum casing fits very well with the Macbook Pro aesthetics.

I give this product a great review because I needed to better utilize my desk. I got rid of a desk top CPU and a laptop that I was no longer able to use. Instead of buying another CPU, I moved the file to the G Drive. The G Drive is less expensive than the purchase of another CPU with the latest upgrades( Windows 11 and other software).

Lasted 18 Months

I used this drive to store pictures and videos from my GoPro and DJI drone as well as backup for a MP3 music collection. The drive did not get a lot of use compared to my other drives. After approximately 18 months, my Mac started indicating I had disconnected the drive without ejecting it. Not long after that my Mac started rebooting due to a PCI bus error. I purchased a WD Elements 16TB just to copy the data from this 6TB G-Drive over to and it knocked my Mac out many times in an attempt to do so before I thought to put ice packs on top of the drive. This at least kept the drive from rebooting my Mac, but after I started looking at some of the video files I had copied over after I placed ice packs on the drive, over half of the files are corrupted. I lost a lot of music, pictures, and videos over this hard drive. I have used WD hard drives since the days of DOS. I only lost one other way back when. I also have a G-Raid 8TB which has been running since 2017 with no issues whatsoever. Sorry I am forced to rate this drive with only a single star.

Rock solid. I have two drives and a G-Raid. Have gone through some other drives and this surpasses them all.

I have over 30 G-Tech multi TB drives and this was the first one that failed. Unsure what the issue is but have requested a replacement.
