Great traveling hard drive - I bought this hard drive for some remote work I was doing. It held up really well, and I am really impressed by its speed. The price point is also very good for the quality.

Customer reviews
Write a reviewVery nice hard drive... fairly fast. However, I was searching the Best Buy site for SSD... and this drive came up and I bought it, not realizing it was not an SSD. So, be careful with Best Buy search
Love it - Good, fast transfer and easy to use. Lucky me got it with discounted price.
Big space on a small device - Love the portability. The size and the large capacity is amazing to support all of the information i want to store on it
Highly recommended - We have purchased several of these for our projects and have never had an issue with any of them. They are a fast and durable drive. I would definitely recommend.
Truely disappointed - I really wanted to give this more stars, but the work you have to put in to get it functioning properly sucks.
Best hard drive - One of the best external hard drives I have ever used
SanDisk Professional G-Drive is rugged & reliable - The SanDisk Professional G-Drive works great. I have been using it for about a month and have not noticed any lag in performance, like other external drives. I purchased the 2 terabyte capacity to ensure adequate storage for backups on my MacBook Pro. Oh, not to mention, the SanDisk G-Drive is enclosed in a rugged case to easily withstand drops and shield it from debris. I highly recommend the SanDisk Professional G-Drive.
Perfect - Love G-Drive they always perform flawlessly, I have been using them for ages.
Good but ify - Use this for my file storage. It’s great for the price but I feel like it deleted some files randomly. May have been user error.
Great Storage Device - I think this little "plug-and-play" storage device for my old MacBook Pro 2012 machine was a great investment. Hooked up seamlessly.
Great product and price - My old external hard drive failed so I started looking around for the best deal and option. Best Buy came through again as it has many times in the past. Great price and great unit. It was easy to set up and has many options
Excellent one! - Excellent product & love it! Very useful & strong!
Backup drive - Works very well with my iMac. Easy to set up and works great.
Reliable and Durable: SanDisk G-DRIVE ArmorATD 2TB - SanDisk G-DRIVE ArmorATD: Durable, spacious, reliable 2TB
Storage for MacBook Pro - Fast and easy to download files onto. Able to put thousands of RAW photos on. Have downloaded files from cloud to hard drive.
Lots of memory for the price - It is not as fast as a solid state drive but it is a lot cheeper. It allows me to get two drives for multiple backups. The only reason I did nit give it a five is that it is not as fast as solid state but I knew that going in.
San Disk G Drive - The item is listed as plug and play, that turned out not to be true. My Windows 11 computer could see the drive when plugged in, but it did not show up on the drop down menu for use. Apparently, this is a known issue, thankfully there are videos on YouTube that explain how to fix the problem. Once I followed the YouTube fix the drive worked great. I'm happy with the drive, not so happy with the extra research needed to get it working.
Love it! - Worth the money!!! I use this to backup all my photos form my phone, camera and videos!
Perfect for creatives - As a music producer I literally take this thing everywhere, and keep my most important files on it. Never failed me after 3 years of heavy use. USB c makes it super fast and easy to connect for Mac’s and PC’s.
