What customers say about "Key Specs"
LaCie Rugged Durable External Hard Drive for Mac (USB-C)
- The storage size and USB C connection are ideal for what I use in my video editing setup.
- This would be perfect for anyone who needs a lot of portable storage.
- I love the small compact build of this drive. Very light and travel friendly. No complaints.
- This is a great hard drive. It's fast and so far reliable. The transfer rates are amazingly fast.
- This is a quality product that plugged right in and worked great.
G-Technology G-DRIVE 4TB USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive
- I had been very impressed with the quality G-Tech drive, so I ordered my 4 TB G-Tech drive (which lives permanently in my house for backup).
- Used a 1 Tera for years but needed to go up to 4 Tera. I like this drive.
- Purchased this only four months ago and was only storing about 2TB of data on a 4TB hard drive. Good memory.
- I use the G-Drive USB G1 0G03594 (4-TB) with my MacBook Pro as my main external drive for all my photos. It is fast and (so far) reliable.
- The drive is simply too noisy for desktop use.
