Great for Backup
I already have a 4TB SSD to supplement storage on my MacBook M3 pro but needed a reliable backup drive for time machine and online storage for that size is expensive. This drive works great for me. I've had a standard external drive fail before so having the extra shock proofing was a key requirement. The price and performance are competitive and hopefully, I will never have to test read speed, but I am ready just in case.

Great G Drive!
By far the best external drive I've owned. Simple to use, just Plug and Play! I love that it doesn't need an external power source to use. Portable, lightweight everything you want in an external drive. It's actually my G drive on my computer as well! :) I definitely recommend this for those that need data on the go!
