1tb G-drive stopped working after four months of very light use of weekly time machine backups (freezing during +5 gig data transfers with mac's time machine, ummounting randomly). Sent it back to g-tech; got it back after a month. After another month of working well with time machine, the drive started freezing and unmounting again. I've had a 250g g-drive for six years and that one keeps working great. And I really liked this 1tb drive when it worked; hook up with the mac is effortless, data transfer with firewire 800 is fast. But given how prone it is to becoming a sexy looking aluminum brick, I can no longer recommend this 1tb g-drive; I'll be shopping for another brand next time.

A few months ago, I purchased this G-Tech 1TB external hard drive and it is simply incredible. I just had 2 western digital's die within a month again and was just tired of having to replace every year or so. Before purchasing another external drive, I went to the apple store in NYC and they couldn't rave enough about G-Tech. It is a solid drive and built like a tank. If you are very hard on everything like myself, G-Tech is the way to go. Yes, it does cost more than most other drives, but they will last. A majority of my industry friends only use G-Tech and swear by them. Their drives get knocked around constantly and they have never had a problem with them. I wish their price would be cheaper, but they are not. I have absolutely no regrets with my purchase and will now only purchase G-Tech for my external hard drives.

P.S. If you are into technology eye-candy, these drives are beautiful. That is not the reason why I bought one, but it certainly doesn't hurt.

Having the drive in an area where I work quite a bit I was very concerned with fan noise. The promotion on this drive emphasized its quietness and it is as quite as one could hope. I have it connected to an iMac and utilize Time Machine. When the scheduled back-up occurs, you can hear a slight amount of light drive noise as it spins up but otherwise, nothing. Well built case too.
