Pros:
• Solid construction! Really well built.
• Super fast! In some tests, it has outperformed MacBook Pro's internal SSD
• Light weight and very small
• Easy to set up and use
• Very responsive to utilities and use
Cons
• None . . . . I love this drive!
Though to be fair, SSD's are still overpriced. They have not changed much in the last few years and that's not right..... None the less, this is a fantastic drive. I've had it for roughly 3 months and it's been flawless. Unlike my Wester Digitals which seem to have a 50% fail rate in the first year. Really, I've replaced so many under warranty I'm not sure how the company stays in business.
Also, here's a snug fitting case (not all small HD cases will fit this drive, it's a tiny bit longer than the popular Sandisk model): https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GWNV8L5
Windows users must reformat the G-Drive as your machine will not recognize it. Unless you absolutely need cross platform use between MAC and PC just format the drive to NTFS as it is more stable than exFAT. There are very detailed OS specific reformatting instruction for NTFS and exFAT on the G Technologies support pages.
*Purchased another one of these in the 1TB size and could not be more satisfied and confident with my storage/back up solution.
