G-Tech Storage
Great product for storing a decade worth of old video footage.
I also use G-Tech all the time on video production projects. Great storage for the price and robust reliability.

Highly recommend - great drive
Very durable hard drive. When I have had an issue, they replace it no questions asked. Have 17 of these drives. Great support, very durable drive. We use to use all LaCie drives but their support is terrible, they had a major problem with their Chinese power supplies, had to replace 8 of them. Had two not show up on the desktop when they boot up, don't expect support from LaCie, they just don't care about their product. You're just stuck with it. LaCie is the total reason for switching to G-Tech, and we could not be more happy with reliability and support.

Can deal with the bright light, but the noise is insane.
If you notice the reviews mentioning the very bright light on the from of the unit, they are very accurate in mentioning how incredibly bright it is. And, in how it flashes frequently when it's operating. I can deal with that though, as I keep the drive with my others on a shelf beside my desk and I don't see the light, directly.
But, the drive is the noisiest drive I've ever owned. When it's reading or writing, there's a constant "scratching" and "grinding" noise that is almost louder than the keys on my keyboard as I type this. Increasingly unbearable, and I've had the drive for about 4 days now. Having unpacked it today and loaded 4TB of data onto it via ChronoSync, my office would not have been a fun place to work today had I not had music playing loud enough to drown out the drive noise.
If I don't see an improvement in the next day or so, as I hope things will settle down, I'm contacting G-Tech directly and looking for some answers, or some solutions.
The capacity of the drive is great for what I need it for, as an archive drive. And, it does read and write incredibly fast via Thunderbolt 2. But, I now think I won't be attempting to use it to work from on a regular basis, and only use it for regularly scheduled backups... and let it run, while I go do something else.
Just waiting for the day a 6, 8, or 10TB SSD drive will be affordable...
