I already had a 6TB G-drive and want another 12 TB of storage. The drives are little noisy, but it isn't bad. Though I'm not a good judge of noise for I fall asleep to the TV on all the time. I love that you can daisy chain the drives, for it saves on using another port on my iMac. That's basically all there is to say about this drive, but in my opinion you'll love this drive just as long as you can stand a little noise and aren't a light sleeper if you have the computer in your bedroom.

Rolled the dice on this HDD brick and opted to format as two, separate 14TB drive partitions rather than a mirrored RAID for secure redundancy. So far so good, decent transfer rates even with the amalgam of adaptors I needed to connect to an older MacBook Pro and G-Tech drives. As mentioned in previous reviews, this unit makes fair amount of noise and lights up pretty brightly, so keep that in mind if you're not powering down at night and/or sleeping within close proximity.

I have used G-Tech drives for close to 15 years. They are built solid for a desktop use and I usually don't travel with them because of how heavy they are and so for that purpose I will use SSDs. This 28TB tends to be loud but that's because the fans are usually always running unless it's in standby mode. I'm okay with the fan noise because I know my files will be okay as this thing stays cool. I use this one mainly for media file backups while I edit with an additional G-tech alongside. They are both fast and suitable for heavy video files.

The tech support has always been very responsive, friendly and knowledgeable when I needed them or had questions. I had an issue where one of the removable drives wasn't responsive when I first purchased the unit and so I filed a case with tech support and they got back to me right away. Not only was it a pleasant conversation but they troubleshoot with me why it occurred and I was back in business in no time. Saved my butt and kept my client and that's why I will always purchase products from this company.

Used this drive for a large editing project recently. Speed is decent, not great, and overall it's a solid performer. Way too expensive in my opinion for what you're getting. Still, it worked for what I bought it for. Make sure you have a fast thunderbolt cable to maximize the speed.

I have a competitor's RAID that is only 1T (Raid 1) and I needed 3T for my videos; so I got the 8T which will become 4T in RAID 1. I like that G-Tech is MAC-first. Easy to reconfigure to Raid 1 from the shipped Raid 0. I was weary that the configurator (just download from G-Tech site) would give me problems on 10.15 but worked fine. Some complained about the noise, but it is quieter than my other RAID. It has a fan and enterprise-class drives (which emphasize reliability over noise) so I wouldn't sleep next to it. Reasonable speed; I moved about 1T from an external TB3 SSD to this in about an hour (~230MB/s; your mileage may vary).
