G-TechnologyG-DRIVE mobile USB Portable USB 3.0 Hard Drive 1TB (5400RPM) (0G02428)

This hard drive is a great choice for the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro. I have a MBP and I purchased this puppy, plugged it in and immediately it was recognized by my MBP. I was able to begin storing data instantly.The hard drive comes pre-formatted right out of the box for Mac's. It's lite weight, in a nice silver aluminum case and it comes with a (3) year warranty, one of the best in the industry!Also it's a good value for the price.

This is a fabulous hard drive, so fast and quiet! It doesn't get overheated, the USB connection between the hard drive and my computer is solid (I have a Macbook Air), and the Time Machine sync is flawless. So the only reason I am giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is the very unpleasant, sandpaper-like texture of the aluminum shell! I do my best to pick it up by the edges so it doesn't make me cringe.

Bought this to back up to my Mac Book Pro while on the road. Nice slim back up and very fast. Have others that I use at home, but this one is quite slim and not bulky at all......easy to travel with. OK. SO, What else is there to say, other than these drives totally and completely rock. Plug and play, and they do the job! Awesome. I have bought many and have not been disappointed at all! I will NEVER AND DID I SAY NEVER BUY ANOTHER WD PRODUCT AGAIN!

My wife's MacBook Air has a tiny 128GB SSD, which is superfast, but nowhere big enough to hold the hundred bazillion pictures she takes of the kids and her music collection. Enter the G-Drive. This svelte little drive is small enough that I can use some double-sided velcro tape and just velcro it to the lid of the Air. Add a short USB cable and --PRESTO!-- extra storage for music and photos.It does draw from the MacBook's battery so she keeps it unmounted and unplugged when not in use and sure it adds a little bit of bulk to the Air, but not so much you'd notice. And plus, when she fills it up (yes, *when*), I can replace it with a bigger drive with no muss or fuss.

The drive itself is great, this is the second one I have purchased. Which allows me to make a comparison. The first one I purchased came in the product box with all packaging included. This drive I purchased from Storite was just wrapped in foam and sealed in plastic. I can see some signs of use and there is some dirt/gunk in the recessed corners where the serial number is located on the bottom. My guess is this is a refurbished unit sold to me as new. It works fine...so far. Even if the unit performs fine I won't buy from Storite again for one very simple reason. I am an Amazon Prime member specifically so I don't have to go out and deal with the holiday rush. I like things sent to my doorstep, what could be easier. Storite sent me this drive via US Postal Service and they shipped it "signature required". Since I work of course I was not home. This meant the next day I had to go wait in line at the Post Office on my lunch hour to get my product. The Post Office! In December no less!!! Literally the very worst possible experience I could ever imagine. It took two hours and I was late getting back to my office. Nowhere within purchasing the unit did Storite mention it would be sent "signature required" and the previous one I purchased from another company was not sent "signature required". Apparently Storite has some issues on what it means to be an Amazon supplier. LOVE the G-Drive, Storite I give a big thumbs down.

This drive is a nice size and works flawlessly with my new MBA. Plug and play. Plug it in and Time Machine starts up and make a click and you are backing up your hard drive. No formatting, no hassle. Great size, compact and nice looking. I've been running my first backup and it's quiet and doesn't get all hot and bothered. The G-Drive makes backing up easy, and therefore more likely to happen.

I've used Amazon for a very long time and have never written a review... good or bad... but had to for this one! This is actually the first time I've gotten something that I would rate less than 4 stars! I'm rating it 1 star... and should even be a 0!!!Terrible device! I got this less than 2 months ago and it has died already. I lost some good video footage and I'm so upset!!! It was a waste of money! Too bad because it was so easy to use!

The size and convenience are great. Fits nicely in case also. Travels well. HOWEVER, I constantly get an error that it was not disconnected properly even when it has not been disconnected. There is a problem with the cable connection. My daughter purchased one more recently and it looks and works exactly the same except the cable. The cable is shorter and has a different connection into the device. She has had no problems at all with hers.
