G-Technology - G-DRIVE Q
 
A tidy package arrived in our office a few hours ago. The little package from FedEx was duly opened, and neatly nestled inside, we found THE most beautiful hard drive ever. Find out what we think to the brand new 2TB G-Drive in today's review.

G-Technology is known for their smooth lines and clean designs. The G-Drive Q is no exception. It’s the classiest way to add storage to your Mac. It’s a great way to add gigabytes to your Mac for any of the great reasons that you might have, whether that would be backing up home movies or important documents, adding more space for TV recordings, or just plain being responsible with Time Machine.

The titular 'Q' refers to Quad Interface. At the back you'll find no less than Mini-USB 2.0, twin FireWire 800 and a single 400, in addition to eSATA, which is of course the fastest of the lot.

“G-Tech’s G-DRIVE Q Hard Drive is available in capacities up to 1 TB with data transfer rates up to 3 Gbps, making it one of the fastest single-disk external storage solutions currently available.” Thanks Palluxo. We think so too.

The G-DRIVE Q is the Swiss army knife of external disks. The “Q” stands for quad—referring to the four different types of data connectors on the back of the drive. You’ll find two FireWire 800 ports along with a FireWire 400, USB 2.0, and a high-speed eSATA I-type port. You can’t ask for a more versatile drive.

G-Technology Reviews
Although your drives are more expensive than your competitors, I have faith that your products are worth it. The failure of my LaCie, and hearing other people's failures has tainted my opinion of that company.
