Nice Built, very easy set-up, noisy
It is a very bulky unit, but the building quality is awesome and it is very easy to set up. You plug it and it is done, no need to worry about anything. The drawback is than the rear fan run always at full speed and it is noisy. It is far from being whispering-quiet... …

Excellent Product but NOISY
OK so you have a nice quiet Mac Pro or even quieter Laptop then you turn this thing on and bring on the noise. It uses not one b ut two tiny fans so that = noise.
If noise is not an issue for you buy this as it really has no other flaw. …- Written by Gary P from Wayne

I want to use this to simultaneously quadruple back up only photos and videos so I don't need extra copies on CD/DVD etc. Can it do this?

Answer
I have connected my G Speed Q using USB. But not directly to my Mac, but to a spare Airport Extreme which I have added to my existing network. I have done this deliberately so that it is hidden away in a well ventilated but secure area in my house. I leave it switched on, but I only connect to it and synch to it once per week. To do this I use an app called Folder Sync, available from the App Store. This is very easy to use and I get to choose which folders to backup. I strongly recommend it.
I hope this helps. …- Answered by R E L
