Review of the G-Technology G-Drive Mobile Portable Hard Drive

It’s not uncommon to go through a number of portable hard drives over time. If you’re like me, you’ve upgraded over and over again, each time being convinced that you finally have all the space you’ll ever need.. which never lasts very long. The best option I’ve come across is the G-Drive Mobile by G-Technology, which sells for $149. It’s small enough to be extremely portable, it doesn’t have to have AC power, and it has a 500 GB capacity, including many hours of HD video.

The G-drive lets you store all data for a project in one place, and easily carry that between work and home editing stations. It’s great for downloading footage from media devices, and perfect for giving clients everything they need on a single small, convenient drive. The G-Drive is much easier to send through the mail than a large, desktop drive, if that’s something you need to do. You can even use it for cloning your system drive before upgrading your operating system, so that you can boot back into the old one if necessary.
