G-Technology 1TB ArmorATD All-Terrain Rugged Portable External Hard Drive - USB-C, USB 3.1 Gen 1 - 0G10433-1

good job, WD! operates @43 deg Cel. while running backup, standing on end, letting the aluminum top and bottom for best hear dissipation. works well within specs for a 5400 rpm HD. rugged enough to not worry about ex running over it with her car or truck.

works great and seems to be drop proof

I was looking for a drive for my 2019 macbook pro. The G-Tech drive looked good because it was large. I do audio so I needed a large drive. I purchased the G-Tech 4TB ATD drive. I transferred all the files I needed to it and started working. After a week, the drive would not mount. it was not recognized in disk utilities and could not repaired. SUCKS! I decided to return the drive and I opted for the 5TB ATD. After the same process of uploading everything i needed to the drive, it worked fine for 2 weeks. Then one day I left my computer unplugged and my computer went off while the drive was connected. When I turned the computer back on the drive was not recognized. I WILL be returning this 2nd drive and I wont be purchasing another one 2 failures and lost work is enough for me I wouldnt do it.

No problems for months now. Excellent buy.

This is a really durable and beautiful external hard drive. It seems like it could be plugged in and be 99% waterproof and 99.999% dust proof. It is relatively fast for file transfers with Windows 10. It uses USB 3.0 with a unique cable that has USB C on both ends and a USB C to USB 3.0 adapter. It was working great for about three months and then suddenly, without moving it or changing the USB port it disappeared from Windows Explorer--even though the light on it is on indicating it is powered. I changed the USB port it is plugged into on the PC and it came back. Ive read other reviews about MACs where they can no longer see it. So, Im going to move data off of it and not rely on it any longer. It is about three months since I bought it so it is too late to return it for a refund so STBM caveat emptor to you.

I needed a external hard drive to back up line files from my computer. This one provides enough memory space with 1 TB and durability for traveling as the external edges are to cushioned. Overall I have not had any issues with extra hard drive during the first two months of using it. A great and useful tool for anybody

Please listen. I normally do not write reviews, but I want to make sure you dont lose important data. The design of this drive looks great, but it is only aesthetics. The drive is bad, and the cable that it brings is a joke. I almost ruin my computer USB-C trying to insert it. The cable does not go all the way in the plug of the computer or the drive. It stays weirdly loose. I thought it was weird, but I really wanted to like that drive. Moving on, I passed 4TB to the drive, and two hours in while it was passing the data, I tilted my screen, and it moved the cable a little, I mean, it barely touched it, and the drive was ejected because it lost contact. Long story short, the drive didnt work from then on, and I could not reformat it again. Thankfully I didnt lose any data because I always have backups, but I am so scared that I am not even sure if I will buy a drive from this brand again. It is a liability issue because I had to return the drive to get my money and who knows where my data will end up. If the company cut corners to save money on a crappy cable, I cant even imagine what else they did inside the case. Trust me; you do NOT want this drive. I have been buying G-Drives for ten years, and I am a professional photographer and professor. This is the first rugged G-Drive I buy, and I can tell that it was not created for professionals. This company made a huge mistake with this drive, and I am moving on because this was unacceptable. Just write cable on the search of the ratings so you can see that I am not the only one complaining about the cable and the drive. I could have been a batch of drives, but I would not risk it. Get yourself another drive, maybe a Western Digital or LaCie.

I’m not too happy so far with the product I purchased, although it was a valuable and necessary purchase for me. I was thinking it would be simple, I can simply hook it up to my computer and began saving data but that hasn’t been the case! For whatever reason I have not been able to connect to my computer with it, so at the moment I am having a hard time getting everything together.

Love this external Hard drive, whisper quiet and fast reader, very responsive and most of all well made. Nice rubber protective edges are slip and impact resistant

This drive is excellent! Excellent! Period!
