Great RAID drive

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.

Dependable and good tech support

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.

Replacement drive quick and easy

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.

Capacity, performance and value

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.

Fast and quiet

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.

Super reliable storage

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.

Photographer? Get this.

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.
