However, they acknowledge that its speed falls short of Thunderbolt‑3 SSDs, and the required Windows reformatting is a minor drawback.
What Users Say
Everyday users echo the professional sentiment, highlighting the drive’s portability, durability and noticeable speed gains for large media transfers, while noting the extra step of reformatting for Windows and the absence of a protective case as common annoyances.
Common Complaints
Reformatting requirement for Windows, speed slower than Thunderbolt alternatives, and occasional inconsistencies in reported weight/dimensions.
How It Compares
vs. G-Technology G-DRIVE mobile Pro (Thunderbolt 3)

vs. Older G-DRIVE mobile USB‑C (HDD)
Advantages
Disadvantages
Select the HDD version for budget‑conscious users needing large capacity and who don’t need high speed; select the SSD for faster performance and superior durability.
