Love this G-Drive!!
Written by MH

I have been a user of G-Technology products for a while now. I am a photographer and need a reliable back-up solution that I can both take with me on location and have drives that stay in my studio. I have a couple of mini's all the way up to a G-Speed eS. This one is one of my favorites and I work it to death. The support from G-Technology, when I do call in with questions, is nothing but stellar! These drives are the perfect fit in my Mac world..easy to use, great support, never have any problems! …More

G-Tech Hard Drives Quality Built and Reliable
Written by AD from VANCOUVER
Nov 13, 2009
I own 2 of these drives and they have performed flawlessly hooked up to my Mac Pro via eSata using G-Tech's own eSata PCI adapter card. Scary fast backups! I also own other G-Tech products (a G-Speed ES, a G-Safe, and 2 G-Minis) and have found them to be quality built like no other and very reliable. The one time I did have a drive fail I was quickly shipped a replacement. BTW... these drives are being used full time in a studio environment. …More

Never go back......
Written by KC from DES MOINES
Dec 4, 2009
After using "other" drives that had me sweating bullets from failing...I bit the bullet and purchased this drive. I have not regretted that decision. i am a professional wedding photographer and my clients files are irreplaceable. Telling a bride I lost her files because of a bad HD is NO excuse. i now use G-drives for my backups and my storage. Period. The few extra bucks i pay is meaningless. i can't speak to their customer service because I haven't had to call yet....so we'll see about that one. …More
