Warm but Convenient – Great for On-the-Go Charging
Nice slim power bank that snaps on easily and charges fast. Super convenient at work, but it gets warm and usually stops around 80%. Still solid for quick boosts!

Pain to set up, Well Built, £204 pounds 6TB expensive Lets hope it's as good as it looks
I have read some negative reviews stating it's not plug-and-play. It's true, it was a bit of a pain to set up, but the unit is very robust, and it was quickly working away, copying 3.5TB from another drive that was not working well, hence this purchase. Not sure how long it will last, time will tell. The 5-year-old 5 TB Seagate didn't.

Scam, buyer beware
Stopped working after a month, I just put it away and forgot about it, today I tested again and still not working. Decided to open it up and see what's going on and found it's an internal HDD for use inside a PC and should not be sealed in a unit. This absolutely should not be bought or used. Just purchased a SanDisk SD external hard drive and will not trust a 3rd party claim again. Scammed. Overpriced junk

Excellent Hard Drive – Fast Speeds and Great Case!
This 5 GB hard drive works great! It has fast read and write speeds, and it comes in a nice, durable case. Easy to use, large storage capacity. I’m very happy with it and have no hesitation in recommending it to others.

Good but needs a little manual setup.
Very decent protection around it and seems to work all round, even came with a USB-C to USB-A and a USB-C to USB-C cables so you can connect to Super Speed USB-C ports on laptops or other electronics. However it requires a bit of manual partition fiddling to work and I had to look it up on YouTube...you have to make a new simple volume via "Partition Manager" on windows (or whatever OS you are using) to be able to start using it.

Rugged, fast and reliable
Compact device with plenty of capacity and the speed of SSDs. Rugged too with a rubberised surround. Originally intended as a back up drive, I chose to use it permanently connected to my iMac to make good use of the capacity (2 Gb) and bought a second one for the back up

Your pictures and documents are secure with this hard drive it is portable and robust
I bought this external hard drive to clear off pictures from my iPad as I had slowed it down with accumulation of photos and videos and it was unable to function properly It was easy to use and fast and it was great to see them stored and safe plus not having to put them on (the cloud) for the protection and security reasons and for my peace of mind that I have them and they are now safe I would recommend this hard drive for these purposes I have recently purchased a new data cable for the hard drive as I needed one that can clear off pictures from my phone and this has a different cable setting than the ones provided with the hard drive it is easy to use and is portable too

Frequently disconnects
The drive itself is well built and sturdy. Copying, backing up and access seem to be quick through the USB C port. Major problem is that it frequently disconnects without any warning, losing any data/work in the process. Occasionally I have opened the drive to find most of the folders missing, and a disconnect/reboot brings them back - very annoying. Used to expect this back in the day of 20gb hard drives - but not in this day and age. I won't be buying another G-Drive - very disappointed.
