The 1TB G-DRIVE mobile USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive by G-Technology is a slim, light (under 10 ounces) portable hard drive for your Mac computer. It features USB 3.0/2.0 connectivity, a 1TB SATA hard drive and an all aluminum enclosure for efficient heat distribution.
The drive is factory formatted with HFS+ with Journaling and is Time Machine ready right out of the box. It's plug-and-play compatible with Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) or newer, but it can be reformatted for use with Windows.
You won't have to worry about cable clutter either, because the unit is self-contained, running on bus power directly from your computer's USB port. It can fit easily in a briefcase or laptop bag, and even has the aluminum look of a MacBook Pro.

I use it to store photos and videos, and it works great. Using an Mac meant no setup, just plug and go. So far I'm very glad to have it.

Comments about G-Technology 1TB G-DRIVE mobile USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive:
I love this drive. It's tiny (WAY smaller than my 500G), super light, and the capacity is huge for it's size. Running off the USB 3 cord is amazing because usually drives with this kind of volume require an external power source. Fits in my pocket while expanding my hard drive space ten times. A must buy.

Small, compact and reliable external USB 3 Drive for Mac Book Pro. I was surprised at how small and well made the drive is. The aluminum finish matches the Mac Book really well.
