    disappointed

    • Written by from JACKSONS POINT

    Bought this product and for the majority of the time i loved it! design looks great and sat nicely beside my macbook air. After some solid use of transferring movies back a forth from the macbook air to this device, it suddenly stopped working. I met with an apple genius who told me that the software had been over run? He advised me to try and restore the hard drive, and if i was unable to do that to contact G-Drive. I had no such luck on restoring the drive.

    Really wish this worked better, hope it doesn't happen to you.

    I will no longer be using a G-Drive products for my hard drives.     …More

    LOVE!

    • Written by from Austin

    I love this hard drive. I have the 128GB Macbook Air and I store all of my movies on this drive since they don't fit in the Air. I take it with me everywhere, it's much smaller and thinner than it looks in the photos. I've never had any drive issues with it at all- highly recommend it. I wish I had gotten the 1TB, but that was my bad not G-techs at all. …More
