Overview
G-Technology wraps a portable hard drive in a slim aluminum shell, preformatted for Mac and shipped with both USB-C and USB-A cables. Windows users reformat it once and it works the same.
Two cable types cover new and older computers out of the box. The aluminum case looks sharp next to a laptop. It is a spinning drive, not an SSD.
Who it's for
Creatives backing up projects from a laptop suit the drive. Users moving huge video files often should choose an SSD instead.
Pros and cons
- Both cable types included
- Mac ready out of the box
- Light to carry
- Three year warranty
- Needs reformat for Windows
- Hard drive speeds
Performance notes
Throughput tops out at hard drive speeds, so large file copies take time. Reformatting for Windows erases the Mac format. Aluminum helps dissipate heat.
