About this product
The G-Technology G-Drive Mini 0G01650 is a used 500GB external hard drive, offering FireWire 800 and USB 2.0 interfaces. This 2.5-inch HDD features a 7200 RPM rotation speed and is compatible with Laptop, PC, and Mac. Described as 'OLD Stock' with 0 Power Hours, it's like new but may require re-formatting from NTFS. A USB 2.0 cable is included.
Our take
This G-Drive Mini is an interesting option for users with legacy FireWire 800 ports, offering a quick connection for its time. The 7200 RPM drive is a definite plus for a 2.5-inch portable HDD, indicating faster performance than many older drives. However, the 500GB capacity is quite small by today's standards, and the USB 2.0 interface is very slow for any significant data transfer. While it's 'like new' with 0 power hours, the 'OLD Stock' designation means it's an older model. At under $50, it's a decent deal if you specifically need FireWire 800 or a small, fast HDD, but newer USB 3.0 drives offer much better value for speed and capacity.
