Awesome Drive

I bought this to replace a G-Technology drive. I have always been uncomfortable with the G drive, the first copy I received was faulty right out of the box. (B&H was great with the exchange!!) And, the second copy has always acted weird (in my opinion). It started getting really slow and was constantly shutting off even with trying to change the settings on my computer. So, in fear of losing everything, I bought this Glyph drive. It has been great right out of the box. Set up was a breeze, transferring files was a breeze. I use an external hard drive to keep my thousands of images, so if the G-Technology drive crashed, I would not have been happy! While I have only had it a few days, I can tell the tremendous difference in the two. Even though the G drive was Thunderbolt this Glyph drive is much more responsive. It's always a crap shoot when buying new gear, so I was a little afraid that I was going to experience the same issues. But, this drive works like a dream! I would totally recommend it.
