I am sold on the quality of G-Tech drives and this Thunderbolt drive is high-performing, build solid like a rock (no cheap plastic), and worked out of the box.

The thunderbolt 3 port can’t compatible with USB-C or thunderbolt 2 port . Because I tried other thunderbolt 3 G-Tech hard disk , it works with thunderbolt 3 and apple adapter from thunderbolt 3 to 2 . But this one doesn’t work .

I purchased the "G-Technology G-DRIVE mobile Pro 500GB Thunderbolt 3 External SSD” as a video project drive. The 512GB was a bit slower than the 1TB but fast enough for my work. The drive was formatted for macOS, sold as a Macintosh compatible drive, fast enough and seems reliable; however, I must copy my files to another drive to master my projects. (To burn disks) I have tried Roxio Toast and macOS system burning software and I always receive an error saying one of the files was changed during the copy operation. When I contacted the manufacturer’s support department, they replied quickly and were polite. After a chain of back-and-forth, I was told: “Theoretically the drive should be compatible with any software Apple manufacturers. However, we have not tested the drive with every software that Apple provides for their computers. So we have not tested this drive with a burning software and how it would interact with our drives unfortunately.” No more help was given.
