The G-Technology G-DRIVE Pro and Thunderbolt™ 3

0Share

There’s no question that the future of high-speed data transfers rests firmly within Thunderbolt 3, which features bi-direction data transfer speeds of up to 40 Gb/s. However, for as fast as it is, Thunderbolt 3 is often limited by the interface (SATA vs. PCIe) and type of host drive (hard drive vs. solid-state drive). To this end, G-Technology has paired the fast Thunderbolt 3 interface with speedy SSD storage to create the G-DRIVE Pro Thunderbolt 3 External SSD. Available in capacities of 960GB, 1.92TB, 3.84TB, and 7.68TB, and preformatted for macOS 10.13+, the G-DRIVE Pro brings you the speed of the Millennium Falcon’s hyperdrive, only instead of completing the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs, your data transfer speeds will reach up to 2800 MB/s, which is fast enough to edit multi-stream 8K footage at its full frame rate and quickly render VR projects and experience them a full resolution.

Are you a Windows user? Instead of thinking, “I’ve got a bad feeling about this,” a simple reformat will allow compatibility with Windows 10. Additionally, while one of its Thunderbolt 3 ports is used to interface with your host system, the other can be used to daisy-chain up to five additional Thunderbolt-compatible devices, including drives, 4K displays, and more. If by chance you’re running Thunderbolt 2 and fancy this SSD, it has been built with Thunderbolt 2 compatibility when used with an adapter.

G-Technology built this SSD using an aluminum enclosure that is sturdy and stackable, which not only provides protection, but keep your workspace neat and tidy. Additionally, an endurance rating of one drive write per day (DW/D) will help to ensure a long operational life, much like the Millennium Falcon.

If you’re a fan of G-Technology and are looking to make the light-speed jump to Thunderbolt 3, G-Technology’s G-DRIVE Pro Thunderbolt 3 External SSD is a worthy option.
