Summary: Very satisfied with the G-Drive Q 500GB
Comment: I am very satisfied with this purchase. It has all the interfaces I could ever ask for! I have owned the G-Drive Q 500GB for about a month now and have had no problems what-so-ever. Working perfect as a Time-Machine volume. I'd like to note that G-Technology actually honors a 3-year warranty for all of their G-Drives now, so make sure to register your product once you receive it.

Summary: Very Happy with my new G-Tech
Comment: This is a very solid external HD. I purchased this after experiencing some nightmare scenarios of failing external hard drives, including one that started smoking... The G-Tech feels solid, has a spinning sound that is reassuring- you can always tell that it's turning on. I recommend it for all audio-visual professionals using ProTools and Final Cut Pro.

Summary: No Looking Back
Comment: This product is simple awesome. I have owned several different external drives. LaCie, Maxtor to name a few and had problems with all of them. Worn out buses, fans, and flat out poor design. G-Tech got it right. This product rocks!
Seamlessly integrated with my G5 Mac right out of the box. Thanks to MacWorld for their great consumer reviews. They got it right in big way.

Summary: Dont think its the best out there... !!
Comment: OK.. Ill keep this short..
I bought two Q drives for this two year project I'm on right now...
Im working in Bangladesh and have been here now for almost a year...
The G-Tech was fine until about 2 weeks ago when it just would not mount to my Macbook Pro.
I tried everything... Not a peep..
So I emailed G-tech support.. Got an answer from MIKE.. telling me that my drive must be OLD as it does not show up in there Data Base...? WHAT..? So you are saying I do not have a G-Tech drive sitting here in my desk acting as a flipping Paperweight..?-
I re-sent him the serial number and a photo of the underside of the drive and they will not entertain me..
What do you think of that..? this was an expensive drive with great reviews and YES i know things break down.. Customer service... ???? What customer service... these people are just BS ing you all the way to the bank..
I have 3 Lacie drives here and they are 3 years old and still going strong... !!
You know what you can do with your Drives G-Tech.... !!!
Who got you where you are now.. ? Mac Users...!! The higher you climb the further the fall the harder you hit..
Take my advice..
Don't BYE G-Tech....!

Summary: No Hassles, Great Drive
Comment: I've had this drive for 3 months. Not any hassles. All 4 cords arrived. Mac G4 hook-up was instant. The drive has no fan and is very quiet. Fast transfer on Firewire 1 even though my G4 is old and slow. 400mhz. This drive cost quite a bit more than others. It is worth it. You do get what you pay for with this drive. Excellent. The Best. I'm going to buy another in about a month. If you are going through the debate about the cost, as I did, remember the hassles you are going through with a malfunctioning drive. Ask yourself if the extra price for good working equipment isn't worth the extra cost in money, compared to lost data, your lost time, your frustration levels. There are some really inexpensive drives out there, and almost all of them are CHEAP.
