Good service quality product...

My purchase from a Adorama was timely and trackable, which was reassuring. As an international customer from the opposite time zone, I also found customer service responsive. I would recommend Adorama to other potential customers.

Excellent fast portable drive.

I've always been a fan of G-drives, and this 1 TB 7200 RPM Mini drive performs as expected. Very reliable fast drive either using Firewire 800 on my older Macbook Pro or the USB 3 on my new Macbook Pro. Includes both cables. Very quiet. A must for your compact camera bag!

great for video productions

It is a great unit if you want to both store footage and also with 7200 rpm it can be used for editing. Ideal for traveling with a lap top, and editing on the road!

Quality and Good Looks

G-Drive Mini works great with Macs right out of the box. No setup and no annoying software. Great for Time Machine or just extra storage for a USB 3.0 equipped Mac.

Tiny, straightforward 1TB

I haven't have this little for too long, but so far I'm quite pleased. It's time-machine ready and really tiny!
