Portable External HDDs From G-Technology

G-Technology, trademark of HGST, Inc., announced the G-DRIVE mobile USB-C, a portable drive that speeds up and streamlines the storage and backup process using the latest USB Type-C technology.

USB Type-C is the next-generation connector with a slim and sleek design, tailored to easily fit into thinner and lighter notebooks, like the Apple MacBook. It is a user-friendly connection as the cable can be plugged in any orientation or direction and is robust enough for notebooks and tablets.

If you are a student running around campus, a business professional or a photographer traveling the world, the 1TB storage space helps handle all the videos, photos, documents, and music you need. Bus-powered, requiring no outside power adapter and featuring a thin, beveled aluminum case, the G-DRIVE mobile USB Type-C offers ultimate mobility. Best of all, you can match the drive with your Apple MacBook design in gold, space gray or silver. Also, whether your system features the next generation USB-C or the standard USB 3.0/2.0 interface, it is compatible and can serve as your fast storage companion, while future-proofing your storage for your next-generation computer system.

The G-DRIVE mobile USB-C features a 7,200rm HDD for transfer rates up to 136MB/s. It ships with one USB Type-C to Type-C cable and one USB Type-C to Type-A cable, allowing for backward compatibility. For Windows users, it can be reformatted using the company’s Windows Format Wizard available as a free download on the company’ website.

Shipping this March, the gold and space gray colors will be available exclusively at Apple Stores, and the silver color will be available at your favorite firm’s resellers. For the 1TB capacity, the MSRP is $129.95 and comes with three-year limited warranty.
