THIS IS A GREAT EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE. SETUP IS EASY AND IT WORKS GREAT. NOT TOO HAPPY WITH THE BACKUP SOFTWARE. IT WILL NOT LET YOU BACKUP YOUR WHOLE SYSTEM BUT OTHERWISE IT IS A REALLY NICE UNIT. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS UNIT TO ANYONE.

This unit worked perfectly for me.  I installed 2 WD Red 3 TB drives, it came up with no issues and I copied my old 1TB NAS's content to it in about 2 hours.  That unit only had a 100Mbit network connection.  It has been fast and reliable.

I have three of these drives.  I've already filled up one and it's in storage.  I'm onto the second one now.  This is a great external hard drive for the money.  I have not run into any problems so far.  I had a Maxtor drive that crashed, and it's "supposed" to be better.  It cost me a fortune to retrieve the data.  These Cavalry drives just keep working away with no problems.

I bought this hard-drived pre-owned.  I had no idea how long it had been in another machine.  So far (about a month), it's worked faultlessly.  I use it in an external enclosure for backup purposes.  It seems to function well for that purpose.  I partitioned it into two partitions - a 250 GB EXT3 and a 750GB NTFS.  I connect to a Linux system and a Win7 system via USB.  I've had no problems with either.

I have a couple of these drives and never had any problems. They work perfectly in both my computer systems (external on a MacBook Pro and internally on a Power Mac G5) and my Synology DS413j.

Although not the fastest drive around for access time (due to the 5400 RPM speed) their platter density make them decent performers for sustained copies. Which for what I use them for (network backups) is perfect.

WD also has good support for any problems you might have (never had any problems returning drives and they often upgrade you to a larger/newer model)

Easy to setup and use.  Recommend external hard drive.

I really like this hard drive. It does everything it says it will do and then more. I just wish I would've bought the 2TB version. I really recommend this to any one who needs storage and is on the go.

The Hitachi 1 TB Deskstar SATA 7200 RPM 32 MB Cache Internal Hard Drive HD31000 IDK/7K is one of my favorite drives these days for general backup storage solutions and even digital audio/video applications. Installed either directly in PC's/Mac's or coupled with inexpensive external bay solutions this is a good, solid performing HD and I have been very pleased with it so far.

I recommend this product. This dual hard drive  bay works great. It keeps the drives cool and running efficiently, and has good read write speeds.

So far, these 2 WD RE4 2TB drives work great as a mirrored pair.
I have had  8 of these same drives in RAID 5 configurations on other PCs for 2 years with no problems.
The price is now much lower than 2 years ago.

The drive is not very good and discontinued by G in 2014. Mine died a year and half after purchase. Don't buy drives without warranties, although all that will get you is a replacement drive, not your data. I would not buy another G-Technology ever, and definitely not a used drive from an Amazon seller.

If you an newer Mac and new a lot of storage, this is the tool for you!

I put 4 HGST 4TB (NAS) drives in this enclosure and used Softraid (V5 beta) to control them.  In a Raid 5 configuration I can get nearly 600MB / Sec - 5x faster than I can get with a single Seagate external drive.  Plus the Raid 5 configuration protects me from a single disk failure.

I have a drobo but the drobo is so slow, it is painful.  The OWC Thunderbay IV is blazing fast if configured with the correct software.  Plus the Thunderbolt connector allows me to daisy devices together.  A big win.

VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I setup two partitions on this drive, HTFS+ to backup my macbook pro and an NTFS partition to host media. It's worked perfectly for the last several months and I have no complaints whatsoever.

I've owned 2 standard size external drives made by G-Tech. They have been the most reliable drives I've ever owned. They have never gave off any weird noises or the dreaded clicking sounds in the 2 years that I've had them. So I decided to get the G-Drive 250Gig mini. It's built like a tank with an all metal casing and no fan makes it very durable to lug around with you every day. It feels very sturdy in your hands unlike some plastic encased drives that feel a lil loose at the seams. The Transfer speeds are crazy fast too, the G-Drive triple comes with 3 connections: Firewire 400, Firewire 800 & USB 2.0 so you have many options of taking advantage of the newer higher transfer speeds, great for media files. It's an amazing portable drive and I highly recommend it.

I have an older generation external drive that is about 8 years old.  The WD device does not work any faster, which is disappointing. It still takes an hour to back up my files.

1 TB drive at a good price.  I like the WD brand.  No fuss in setting this up, just plug and go.
