The G-technology G Drive is available right now at Amazon in both the 500GB and 1TB capacity, pricing set at $599 and $999 which just might be a bit steep, but this is a niche device that will have very high demand in the media professional world. The Extreme Pro M.2 SSD contains a SanDisk 8-channel NVMe SSD controller, two pieces of SanDisk 64-layer 3D TLC memory at 512GB per package, as well as a SKHynix 1GB DRAM cache. Having this SSD in place is a great start. Inside the G Drive is the SanDisk SN720 NVMe M.2 SSD which is the oem version of the latest SanDisk Extreme Pro NVMe M.2 SSD that we have reviewed previously. The construction of the G Drive is ideal as heat dissipates adequately and the exterior casing hardly gets warm, unlike the Tekq Rapide that we have on hand. The exterior case appears to be a very soft rubber permanently affixed to an aluminum casing, and just under that, we have a fully removable blue ribbed thick aluminum case which plays the part of heat sink where the PCB and SSD slide very firmly inside that with two thermal pads that make a secure fit. The G Drive is fairly easy to disassemble through removal of 4 Torx security screws, two on each end and then pulling off the end caps. It is bus powered through the single TB3 port and has a five year warranty, which is a really good start. Its shock resistant case can sustain drops of up to 3 metres and has 1000 lb crush proof rating. The G-Technology G Drive is a Thunderbolt 3 device capable of 2.8GB/s, but only using the included Type-C to Type-C TB3 cable that comes with the drive. Western Digital's new SanDisk Professional line, of which the SanDisk Professional G-Drive SSD (149.99 for 500GB 359.99 for 2TB as tested) is one of the first products, is touted as offering.

You can check out our review of the SanDisk Extreme Pro M.2 SSD here. We also have word that it contains the Sandisk Extreme Pro M.2 SSD (SanDisk now being WD who is also the parent company of G-Technology), so we are expecting some really good things from the G Drive. Today, we are reviewing the newest G-Technology 1TB TB3 G Drive and I have to say right off that this is a very attractive mobile storage device. Still, with such a beautiful cut and performance up to the TB3 ceiling of 2.8GB/s, the Tekq Rapide goes with me everywhere.

This was the Tekq Rapide TB3 Portable SSD and, as absolutely sweet as that device is, it just never hit main stream. Up until today, however, there has only been a single device that we have reviewed that has the portability of pocket sized mobile storage, and didnвЂ™t need external power of some sort. TB3 has been a gift to media professionals, to say the least. Offering an industry-leading 5-year limited warranty, the G-DRIVEв„ў PRO SSD is ready to provide high-performance storage for years to come.We have been reviewing TB3 external devices for some time now and it is great to be so far away from those 500MB/s and lower portable storage device speeds. Sustained Speeds with a Cool, Aluminum CoreДЄ protective aluminum core helps prevent overheating to maintain a high level of sustained performance, while a custom enclosure insulates the drive to help minimize heat transfer to the exterior of the device when in use. The Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) port provides a powerful, versatile connection that allows you to plug in to a compatible computer and instantly extend your storage without the need for external power.
