You Can't Go Wrong With The G-Tech [Posted on 2008-03-22]
After some research, I settled on this G-Tech external drive, namely because of its Quad-interface. Although my Alu iMac (or any Apple computer) does not have an eSATA interface at the time of this writing, I thought that by purchasing this drive, I'd be thinking ahead. The 3-Year Warranty was also a nicety.
The drive works without a hitch. I attached it to my iMac using the Firewire800 interface, and it was basically good-to-go. The case is very sturdy and attractive. My only minor complaint is that, for a "fanless" design, it is a bit loud . . louder than the iMac that it sits next to.
Fast and reliable [Posted on 2008-04-02]
The g-tech q drive so far seems to be a great solution to my storage needs. The 3 1tb drives I purchased were easy to set up using the firewire 800 ports. I grouped two of the drives into a mirrored array and copied my 330gb+ photo library to the new RAID. Everything worked great and a few hours later everything was safely backed up. I am currently doing a system back up with Time Machine and it is going smoothly. The drives do get hot when they are doing a lot of read/write operations but so far no problems. I am hoping the drives live up to g techs reputation for reliability. So far the are quiet and easy to work with.
