Gtech 500GB G-Drive FireWire-800/400 External Hard Drive Review

Good

★★★★☆

4.0

"It's a wonderful hard drive that is safe to use for film/video editing. We even use them at our post production house. However, it is expensive, therefore, it is difficult for a person to want to purchase this item because there are other hard drives, like Lacie, that can get the job done just fine. "

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
