About this product
The G-Technology 1TB External HDD offers a storage capacity of 1 Terabyte in an external drive format. It is equipped with dual FireWire 800 ports and a USB 2.0 interface, providing flexible connectivity for both Macs and PCs. This drive supports HDD type storage and is designed for users needing reliable external storage with a focus on FireWire connectivity.
Our take
This G-Technology 1TB external hard drive provides a decent amount of storage for general use or backups. Its standout feature is the dual FireWire 800 ports, which offer good speeds and daisy-chaining capabilities, especially for users with FireWire-equipped Macs. However, the inclusion of only USB 2.0 rather than a faster modern USB standard is a significant limitation for PC users or anyone relying on USB for transfers. While 1TB is a respectable capacity, the FireWire 800 is becoming less common. It's best suited for those specifically needing FireWire connectivity for their existing setup.
