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

IM REALLY UPSET, I BUY THIS EXTERNAL DRIVE AND ALMOST SAVE THERE ALL MY LIFE, PHOTOS, VIDEOS, DOCUMENTS FROM THE UNIVERSITY AND MAESTRI. And after a few months OF use, it doesnt work anymore, I try different wired just in case but with no luck. Im really disappointed, now I dont know how I gonna recover all my backups.

El disco estaba funcionando bien. Esta familia de discos es de trabajo profesional. El disco varias veces no lo reconoce el Mac por lo que hay que hacer lo necesario para que funcione. La ultima vez que me pasó perdí toda una carpeta con un proyecto de video en marcha. Lástima estaba contento porque pensé que era un tanquesito de guerra pero resultó ser muy malo. Ahora en el check que le hicieron resultó con varios sectores dañados, cuando lo compré hace tan solo dos meses. Y el soporte de esta marca es pésimo. Escribí un ticket de caso hace mas de una semana y no he recibido respuesta. Según la compra hay soporte de recuperación de información si se llegase a necesitar. Esto es mentira pues incluso he llamado y Nadie me ha ayudado. Cómo confiar en un disco así? Trabajo en Mac y PC y lo usé con la configuración que viene de fábrica. no sé si esto haya alterado. Le pasé un antivirus y nada. Varias veces me hizo esto mismo así que nunca no compren este dispositivo, mas si trabajas en video o diseño como yo.

I found the product to be easy to use, and quite reliable. The memory capacity meets my current needs.

I’m an animator and use a lot of drive space and I move data everywhere including across my Intranet to bigger NAS drives. I use 20+ different programs between Mac and PC so this drive was perfect. This has become my PORTABLE working drive for my Macbook. I partitioned it with a 25% PC and a 75% MAC partition (the Mac can do this) so I can run Native Mac apps with it, but also transfer files To and From my PC. The Mac can use both partitions and the PC only sees the PC partition. Its fast and I’ve off loaded a lot of data from my Macbook freeing up space and I have all of my PC files at my fingertips with tons of free space left over.

I assumed it had a thunderbolt connection - it does not. The USB-C connection is pretty fast however. It runs very quietly, and is fast enough to make our studio backups. Since we will be storing backups off-site, the durability factor was important.

Rugged easy to travel with, usb-c with an adapter for the old style. Great Product

I am hard on products and this product is extremely durable and easy to use. Its also very inexpensive compared to other 5Tb external hard drives .

Is reliable and does transfer pretty fast (was able to transfer about 62 gb from laptop to device in about 10 mins) , but not as fast as some others out there (transfer speed seemed to cap out at 130 MB/s) that may or may not cost more money. It reads well on my laptop and I would recommend. For those who want to travel with or just dont like how bulky it is you are able to take off the protective rubber/armor. It also doesnt seem to heat up as much as my other 1 tb hard drive.

Product is sound, so far. Extremely grateful this is a ruggedized hard drive though. Amazon literally slapped a label on the original packaging and shipped it.

Just as advertised. Had 2 bad experiences with WD Passport drives - both corrupted and ruined my life for 2 weeks trying to bring them back. Bought a G-Drive instead and it works perfectly.
