An excellent raid choice. Fast, easy to set up, and worth the high price tag. Especially with the swappable drives. A little noise when working directly off of it but as RAID storage it can?t be beat.

I've used G-Technology for over a decade now, with multiple units, and never lost data. I do back up extensively and have 5 sets of redundant drives in 3 locations. This raid drive is a high quality unit - dependable, long lasting, solid tech support from G-tech, both US (better) and Philippines, and you can swap out the drives for larger capacity at a later date.

G-Drives are always dependable. Adorama made shipping easy and convenient.

When we got it the first time the drive actually failed, but when we called they said that never happens and sent a new one. We have not had issues (particularly as it's raided) since. It's easy to set-up and clear when its working/how the raided system works.

I was looking for a good desktop storage solution that provided enough room for my growing library of photos. Using the G-RAID mirrored for 10TB of usable storage is a good balance between performance and redundancy. My only complaint is that the drives are not as quiet as I would like. The fan is silent, but the drive access seems to happen even when the unit is not doing anything. I've discussed this with G-Technology and don't really have a good answer. However, it is a small issue and to date, I've been happy with the solution. I'm using this attached to a MacBook Pro over Thunderbolt 3.

Excellent hard drive. Just plug and play. Very easy to use. Quick response. Various ports allow connectivity to new and older computers. Let's also not forget Adorama. Excellent retailer to purchase from!

Great product. It was very easy to setup and the HDMI port is a plus. If you use it in RAID 0 like I do, make sure you have adequate backup scheme in place.

I was convinced reading the specs that this storage unit would be what I needed. The only glitch out of the box was getting it to power up. For the first minute or so, I thought it was DOA. Suddenly, it decided to start up and I have no other concerns.

A friend recommended this website and external hard drive to me and the drive is amazing and the customer service was great as well!

I have 8 years worth of Raw and processed images and I finally have a product that works as expected -flawlessly. I would have purchased this without Adorama's special offer, lowering the price substantially - Thanks Adorama.
