Description
The 4TB G-DRIVE ev RaW USB 3.0 Hard Drive with Rugged Bumper from G-Technology is designed for those who require on-the-go access to their personal and/or professional files, photos, videos, music, and more. When the included removable bumper is attached to the drive, it is better protected against falls of up to 4.9′ / 1.5m on a carpeted concrete floor. If the bumper is not being used and the drive sustains a fall, it still receives some protection, but only up to 3.9′ / 1.2m. Moreover, the G-DRIVE ev RaW is outfitted with technologies that enable transfer speeds of up to 136 MB/s.
This drive is well suited for performing various tasks, such as backing up, editing, transferring, and general storage, as it is equipped with a 4TB capacity . The drive has two built-in interfaces – USB 3.0 and SATA. The USB 3.0 interface is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and will allow users to connect the drive directly to their desktop or laptop. For those who wish to utilize the drive’s SATA interface, this may only be done using the G-DOCK ev with Thunderbolt, the G-SPEED Shuttle XL with ev Bay Adapters, or the G-SPEED Studio XL with ev Bay Adapters.
While the G-DRIVE ev RaW does come preformatted for Mac 10.9 and later, it can be easily re-formatted for Windows 10, 8.1, 8. and 7. This drive is also compatible with most Evolution Series G-DRIVE ev products. The 4TB G-DRIVE ev RaW USB 3.0 Hard Drive operates solely using bus power and includes a USB 3.0 cable.

I use it as a drive to work on my photos, and/or videos, which saves space on my laptop. I love the quick reading and writing of all my files. Planning on getting a 2nd one

I feel confident that my files will be safe on this drive. Also like that you can remove the cover if you choose for more compact storage
Mafalda Baumbach (verified owner) –

I bought 7 of these drives in 2018 to back up video files and two computers. Four of the drives have or are failing where the cable connects to the drive. Another two are now spontaneously not recognized by my MacBook Pro. 6 out of 7 of these drives have failed 6 – 12 months after purchase. I called G-Technology customer support and they were less than no help. If you value your data, stay away from these drives. $1300 down the drain!!!

I need hard drives for corporate clients who show up with out their own drives and expect to carry the material I shot back home with them. They are moderately priced for a 1TB 7200 RPM drive so I don’t mind paying to keep them in inventory. I transfer the data and sell it to the client and never see them again so I have no idea about how long they last but for my purpose they fir the bill.

This portable hard drive is great ! The rugged bumper is thick and smooth. This hard works well with MacBook Pro ! Just what I needed .

I like the shape and feel of this external hard drive but the cord end that’s connected to the drive itself is weak and poorly made. Within the first week of use it continually kept falling out! Very frustrating… I bought two and both of which have the same issue with the plug port falling out with even the slightest of movement. The constant fear of the cord end falling out is beyond annoying. Do not buy this external hard drive. It will drive you crazy!
