Extremely loud and flashing drive
I was very displeased with this drive and returned it due to the loud clicking and whirring, plus the incessant flashing of the “busy” light. The flashing was bad enough I had to put something in front of it to cut the brightness. I have the 10TB version of this and am extremely happy with it, but the 4TB version is a dud.

reliable work horse
this is my 4th G-drive (I fill up about one a year - although now with more storage hopefully I can get two years of work on this one!) I have never had a problem with any and they sit in a stack next to my computer and I can easily access any files I need. I also work directly from them to my lightroom, although this may not be recommended / :
Again, never had a problem! They can be a bit noisy - that's why 4 instead of 5 stars

So far so good
I know that any external hard drive can fail, but I have had good experiences so far with G drives. I own seven of them in various sizes. Up until now, I have not bought one with more than a 2 Terabyte capacity in case of failure, so this 4 Terabyte drive is an experiment. I am hoping that I won't be sorry, but just to be sure, I back up all of my most important information in two places.

Fast drive
We bought this to attach to a Mac Mini running as a server for some extra storage space. Easy setup and fast copy of files from old server to this. So far, we are very happy with it.

Delivered fast and works great
I bought this drive to replace a 3 terabyte, La Cie drive that my computer stopped recognizing. The G drive interfaces with Mac right out of the box. Read/write is fast. Only drawback is that the drive is a bit noisier then the La Cie, but not so noisy that I don't love the drive.

Flawless with Time Machine
I have several Ext. Hard Drives, but this one is one of the BEST, yet! I use it as my system backup for my iMac & setup was without a hitch. It has an "on/off" switch, which I utilized in between backups. I would highly recommend for anyone needing a reliable backup for their system.

A Great Hard Drive at a reasonable price
This 4 TB G-Drive serves as my ultimate backup drive along with a smaller 1 TB G Drive I use at the same time. This unit is fast, allows both thunderbolt and USB 3 connects and is air cooled. I could not afford a $1000 backup device. For the price this is a great product. It has enough space that it serves as the backup drive for my Lightroom photos and my daughter's lightroom photos. It will serve me for a number of years as my photography backup drive (I save all lightroom photos on two external drives and on the cloud [with Crashplan]
