About this product
The G-Technology G-RAID USB 8TB is an external dual-drive storage solution, housing two 4TB HGST HDDs with a 7200 RPM rotation speed. It connects via USB 3.0 and USB-A, ensuring compatibility with Mac and PC laptops and desktops. Features include removable drives, hot plug support, and a low noise level, making it suitable for various creative workflows and general high-capacity storage needs.
Our take
The G-Technology G-RAID USB 8TB is a well-rounded external storage unit, particularly appealing for its dual-drive setup with removable 4TB HGST drives. The 7200 RPM speed of the internal HDDs is a definite plus for performance, especially when handling large media files. USB 3.0 connectivity ensures decent transfer rates. I appreciate the hot plug support and low noise level, making it unobtrusive in a workspace. The inclusion of FireWire, despite being an older interface, adds compatibility for legacy systems. This unit is a solid choice for users needing high capacity and flexibility for backups or editing.
