 Very reliable September 9, 2008
Dominik Sofian (USA)
Fast, simple in use, nice look, reliable. Why not five stars? Getting hot after about 1 hour work and could be little bit more quiet. I'm little picky so you can easily get this drive and trust it.
 Great Product February 13, 2008

I use this hard drive for video editing and it works perfect with Mac and FCP. It is very reliable.
It makes a little noise operating but I am totally happy with it.

Awesome!
Since I own a G5 MAC with OS 10.5-Leopard, this item was truly plug in and use.
Connect the cable, and plug it in. Told Time Machine to use the G-Drive as the backup and walk away while both pieces of hardware did their stuff.
Really, the easiest add on I ever did. That's why I use a MAC!
Most Reliable Drive On Market January 20, 2008

Wow, there is a video option to write this review. I wonder what that is all about. Sounds too complicated.
This drive is awesome. It's built rock solid and looks nice and hip. It is super quiet and only makes a soft low hum. The drive surprisingly doesn't click at all when writing or reading files (very impressive). Most drives will make the clicking or grinding sound, this one doesn't. This drive is very reliable. I heard this is partly because they use an Oxford Chipset with a Hitachi drive component.
I was a bit skeptical about buying a drive from a no-name company that is placed horizontal, but i guess they know what they're doing because i haven't had a crash or drive failure yet. My sister purchased a maxtor that died after a year. I was also surprised to find that most post houses carry g-tech or lacies as opposed to any other brand. I also absolutely LOVE the white LED glow that's above the g-tech logo. The white LED glow gives it the feel that it runs the way it looks, ice cold to the touch and smooth and cool.
 no 400 Firewire Cable! January 13, 2008

Even though this product is touted as s 400/800 firewire, it only comes with a 800 firewire cable. My imac will only support a 400 firewire connection. How FRUSTRATING to open the box, think I could easily plug and play, and find out that because I didn't see the "fine print" the drive didn't come with a NECESSARY CABLE.
It might as well have come without a switch to turn it on.
It is now a useless piece of metal on my desk, taking up room and necessitating the grief of repacking, and returning.
