This hard drive sucks. It failed on me 3 times in a row. Never dropped it or ejected it carelessly. Seriously WD, get it together. This is embarrassing.

The drive looks very nice, but it goes to sleep and then it won't spin up - no good for video work. It is now merely a storage for media.

It looks exactly like the pictures. Set up was easy, fast, seamless with the new Macbook Pro. Unit is very quiet. When the power is on the "G" on the front of the unit lights up, when data is being read or written the "G" flashes to show it is working. This HDD is built like a tank, the enclosure looks and feels very solid but is not excessively heavy. All the cable you need are included with the device.

The drive works well so far. Had it a few weeks and transferred approx 5tb onto it immediately. Runs smoothly and quickly. It's case is aesthetically pleasing on the desktop so that is a plus in my book.

Seems reliable, speedy and noise level is minimal.

The hd 18tb had issues since day one, contacted customer service, they asked for many things I didn't want to waste time talking to them anymore. The hd was still under warranty. Speed issues, glitches, noises, it's the worst hd I've ever had. Now I'm using it as a data storage hd, bought it originally for work and exports. It's a shame and a waste of money.

I liked this drive so much, I purchased a second drive for my new Mac Studio. For years, I worked with USB pocket drives, but this drive has greatly improved my home computing experience. I partitioned half for TimeMachine, and half for my still and video photography. Install and setup was seamless, and I've had flawless performance since using both of these drives...one new, the original over the course of year.

Despite what two WD salespeople told me. Drive will not work with Windows 11. Spent 2 hours 1 day with WD tech support, and they concluded G Pro Drive was defective. Returned it & bought new one. Spent 4 hours 1 day. Would not appear thus ca not format. I knew you had to reformat drive, but in File Explorer won't recognize G drive, even though I can see it is connected in hidden icons. Sent that back as well. Waiting for both refunds.

I used this drive to store pictures and videos from my GoPro and DJI drone as well as backup for a MP3 music collection. The drive did not get a lot of use compared to my other drives. After approximately 18 months, my Mac started indicating I had disconnected the drive without ejecting it. Not long after that my Mac started rebooting due to a PCI bus error. I purchased a WD Elements 16TB just to copy the data from this 6TB G-Drive over to and it knocked my Mac out many times in an attempt to do so before I thought to put ice packs on top of the drive. This at least kept the drive from rebooting my Mac, but after I started looking at some of the video files I had copied over after I placed ice packs on the drive, over half of the files are corrupted. I lost a lot of music, pictures, and videos over this hard drive. I have used WD hard drives since the days of DOS. I only lost one other way back when. I also have a G-Raid 8TB which has been running since 2017 with no issues whatsoever. Sorry I am forced to rate this drive with only a single star.

Booted right up - very quiet - very fast. I have this Thunderbolt 3 unit daisy chained with two other drives and it works seamlessly as my Time Machine allowing a look-back period of months.

The drive goes to sleep so frequently that I cannot use it for my image processing workflows. It doesn't matter what thew rated transfer speed is, if you have to wait for the drive to spin up again.

I give this product a great review because I needed to better utilize my desk. I got rid of a desk top CPU and a laptop that I was no longer able to use. Instead of buying another CPU, I moved the file to the G Drive. The G Drive is less expensive than the purchase of another CPU with the latest upgrades( Windows 11 and other software).

Simplemente necesitaba expandir mi capacidad de guardado de mi M1 Pro. Soy Productor Musical y tengo librerías de sonido de mas de 1T de uso en tiempo real y no me cabe en mi portátil. Con esta SSD expandí la capacidad a una VELOCIDAD de locos, trabajando simplemente no pareciera que tuviera un disco externo. Es Genial recomendada 100% aparte de que la empresa brinda una credibilidad y un respaldo muy serio.

Works silently and efficiently. It is easy to set up with a Mac.

The drive is everything we hope for! We are using it to back up all our data for a documentary film.

Very happy with the drives themselves. They are stylish and relatively quiet for being physical drives. They lose 1 star because in the marketing pictures they are shown stacked. I stacked them and they got so hot I could barely touch them. So, don't buy 2 if your only option is to physically stack them. Fortunately, I was able to put mine side-by-side and now they're fine.

I have used G-Drives for many years and like the product. This iteration is especially nice. Blazing fast, surprisingly quiet.

WARNING: This product is Thunderbolt 2 Speed 20 Gb/s with a Thunderbolt 3 Cable. Thunderbolt 3 is a standard 40 Gb/s, twice the speed. I have spoken with customer service numerous times and only gone round and round on the issue. Yes it approaches their posted speed, but that speed does not actually meet the T3 standard. Additionally, the drive puts itself to sleep constantly though the system preferences are set to never do so. An advanced RMA to see if a new drive will address that issue will cost an additional $25 according to their site. Having worked for well over a decade in post production, I cannot call this a professional drive for storage, editorial, or customer experience.

Fast delivery, solid drive! Previous G-Drive purchases have been 100% and still going strong!

Not as fast a connection as I needed to support my work flow BUT it's faster than my previous drive. It is pretty quiet so I'll give it that.

Rock solid. I have two drives and a G-Raid. Have gone through some other drives and this surpasses them all.

Booting an aging iMac with the G-DRIVE pro, can?t tell any difference in speed from the 5400 rpm spinning platter.
