SanDisk Professional 4TB G-DRIVE PRO - Enterprise-Class Desktop Hard Drive, Thunderbolt 3, USB-C, 7200RPM Ultrastar Drive Inside - SDPH51J-004T-NBAAD

I like that you can piggyback several drives together

New Mac OS really works better with SSD. After zapping PRAM and resetting SMC, my MacBook Pro does mount G-Drive Pro partitions using Thunderbolt. Plenty of storage space for backing up files.

I loved this HDD it is very fast, has thunderbolt and USB-C connectivity and it pretty solid. I love it !

Love the speed and quietness of this hard drive

I really liked that it works.

I am using this drive with Time Machine on my MacBook Pro and I am very happy with it. Its not super portable but I dont need it to be. Backups are very, very speedy!

It arrived on November 16th and I returned it on November 16th. I used the USB connection to interface the drive with my new laptop. Notably, my brand new laptop could not recognize the 12T drive in my laptops device manager. I disconnected and reconnected it multiple times with no success. Called a friend of mine who works in the security division at Microsoft and he suggested that I return it. As such, I did! He has seen this many times with external hard drives. He advised a different device. So it may work for some folks, but not for me! Oh well!

This is okay as a backup drive, its not very fast, about 240MB/s on Mac intel even over T3. You have to relocate the feet and rip off a warranty sticker to put a new drive in there, and the new drive ideally will have metal studs added to the sides to ride in the rubber cushions included. I only got 260MB/s on a bigger replacement drive. I didnt get much noise from this unit in general, noise may be coming from peoples drives. I wasnt able to get my monitor working via the T3 daisy chain. The daisy chain requires the drive power to be on. Keep expectations low and you wont be disappointed.

This product once purchased can not be returned or replaced. My new drive crashed and lost all me data. Ive been trying to use a recovery app thats been running for 1 week non stop to recover my data and its only at 40%. Stay away!

I bought this SanDisk Professional to replace a failing drive. I was able to copy the failing drives data to it and Ive been very pleased with its responsiveness and performance so far. Its quiet and quick, just what I needed for photo and video editing!
