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

Always will buy this drive first.

This is a nice drive, but I did have to reformat it -- no big deal. One thing I really appreciated, are the inputs which allow daisy chaining other drives with thunderbolt 3. These drives have gotten so much less expensive than when I bought a 12 T Raid drive. That old one died on me before I could move all my data. Not going to let that happen again.

The description states it is configured for Mac OS use, but can easily be reconfigured for PC use. It is not that easy to reconfigure and SanDisk does not provide a detailed procedure. Reconfiguration requires more than a few keystrokes.

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 use this for video editing on my M1 MacBook Pro and Im happy with it.

G drive is good overall but this one came having noise and crackling sound so returned!

The machine was very noisy in terms of the stylus seeking information on the disk. The advertised transfer speeds were not present either. The unit ran extremely hot and made very loud noises, like all units that are not controlled by the USB port, it was on all the time. Very disappointed in these products. I have invested in LaCie products recommended by Apple as I was connecting this drive to the new Mac Studio computer. Not only were the LaCie products less expensive but they work very, very, well. I believe Western Digital is a valuable player in the small portable market but I won’t invest in any of their desktop products going forward.

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!

I really liked that it works.

Storage capacity and the small size is perfect.
