Review: Best External Hard Drive We've Used - My husband is a super tech guy! He has gigs and gigs of external hard drives all over the house. He has tried just about every external hard drive there is out there. Unfortunately, some of the brands he's used ended up breaking out of nowhere and he's been left trying to transfer the internal files to a different hard drive without corrupting the data. It's always a huge headache for him because he goes out of his way to research hard drive make and model types and he always spends top dollar so that he can ensure he's getting a quality drive. Then he spends hours transferring data from his device to the hard drive, only to have the hard drive stop working suddenly, and not be able to access any of his gigs of data he transferred onto the drives. And he is super meticulous about how the condition in which he keeps and stores his drives. He doesn’t let me even TOUCH them, because they must be kept in a certain position in a certain part of the room where the temperature is just right, etc. This is the third G-Drive I’ve gotten my husband because it is the only one that seems to be large enough and reliable enough for him. The first one we purchased was from Best Buy, and it had less storage capacity, as he wanted to try it out first before transferring multiple gigs of data onto it. It’s now been years since he purchased that first one, and about 2 years since he got the second one, and he’s never had an issue with any of them. He tells me that the transfer speed is very quick and that it’s extremely durable. He thought about trying other brands this time around in case he could find a better hard drive, but he just couldn’t bring himself to risk the possibility of losing all his data again. I’m not sure he’ll ever switch to another brand again. He said he plans on stocking up on them right now in case the brand/company ever goes out of business or discontinues this model - as has happened with trusted brands in the past. Definitely recommend this hard drive for anyone looking for reliable external storage!
Review: Reliable - Reliable - It's been running strong for three years, no issues. Would buy again.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do i need to plug it in or will it run off usb-c?**
A: I haven't found any drives over 5 tb that don't require a secondary power supply.

**Q: I don't have usb-c. i have the old usb 3.0 will this work with that?**
A: Yes, the drive also includes a cable to connect to USB 3.0 ports and it will be just as fast as using USB-C connection

**Q: can it be stacked up?**
A: Don't stack them! I have two units and they get quite warm. Stacking would negate the heat dissipating capability of the unit, IMO. The top of each case measures 97 to 99 degrees F. Mine sit side by side.

**Q: The picture shows an on/off switch.  The answer below says there is not one. I believe two models are being confused. Is this model accurately shown?**
A: The G-Technology G-Drive USB-C 0G05666 does have an on/off switch on the back of the unit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable
*by M***T on October 8, 2025*

Reliable - It's been running strong for three years, no issues. Would buy again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ USB 2.0 speed with USB-C connector
*by A***R on March 30, 2021*

It is a pretty quite drive that will not bother you if it is on for a long time. It is a lot of storage for the price. The USB connection has options. Write speed is pretty consistent and matches tech specs. This is a fine drive but do not expect speeds that you might expect with USB-C. USB-C is up to 20 Gbps and could power the device without an extra power supply. That is not what this is. The specs are say it is 195 mbps which is not fast. Fast drives are 500mbs and up. It is about half USB-2.0 speeds. It is still good for a backup drive and for those that do not have USB-A connectors. Just know what you are getting. It comes with a decent length USB-C to USB-C cable. It also comes with a USB-A to USB-C connector too. I found both convenient. I would have given it 5 stars if it was powered by the USB-C cable. (But if that was the case then know that it could not be flexibly used in the older USB-A connector.) UPDATE: 5-stars actually fast The specs say 195Mbps but on USB-3.2 Windows real world transfers under optimal conditions are reporting 4x to reasonably long spikes of 8x that rate. Windows reports MBps which is meagbytes per second while Mbps is megabits per second. The proof is in clock time, the transfers of are fast. Optimal conditions are large files. All transfers of tiny files takes a long time to handshake each one before it starts writing. First it has to add and entry in the directory structure then it has to start moving the data. For large files the move is longer than the directory entry.
