G-Technology G-Drive Mobile 500GB HD review

The G-Drive Mobile 500GB HD portable hard drive from Hitachi subsidiary G-Technology takes a 'no-frills' approach to mobile storage. It's USB 2.0 only, and offers no fancy features like capacity gauges or one-touch backup, no additional software or turbo drivers, and its only bundled accessory is a USB cable. So given it costs £100, and you can get similarly specced portable drives for around £70, what does it do to justify its price tag? In our tests, the G-Drive Mobile achieved an average random read speed of 9.4MB/s, and an average random write of 13.42MB/s, which is about what you'd expect for a portable USB drive. Not too shabby, but nothing special. If matching styles are your thing, it's designed to resemble the white polycarbonate MacBook, though it looks more like the previous generation than the current release. Build quality is average, with a plastic lid atop a metal tray, and at 250g it's a bit heavier than most portable drives. Its attractive custom desktop icon is neat, though. G-Drive Mobile is pre-formatted using Apple's Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format, but then again, you can reformat a drive yourself in the time it takes to make a cup of tea.

G-Tech G-Drive Mobile

Design and features Aside from the two FireWire 800 ports, the G-Drive Mobile's pearlescent black coating is the only way to tell it apart from the USB-only G-Drive Mobile USB. The glossy exterior reminds us of the back of the Apple iPhone 3GS, but anyone will appreciate its sleek, subtle design. The drive is heavier than others in its class at just under 9 ounces, but we actually appreciate a sturdier heft in contrast to the flimsy LaCie Rugged eSATA drive. USB 2.0 and FireWire 800 are your two options for connecting the drive to a host computer, and you actually get two FireWire ports on top of the device. G-Technology also provides a third FireWire 800 to FireWire 400 convertor cable if you have a MacBook with an older FireWire port. Finally, six rubberized feet on the bottom of the device prevent it from falling off a desktop or tower. The G-Drive Mobile is BUS-powered, meaning it draws all the power it needs from the connection to your computer; there's no need for an external power supply. Once the G-Drive Mobile establishes a handshake with your computer, you can drag and drop files directly from the Finder onto the drive.
