Review: Great as an External Backup Storage Device - The G-Technology G-DRIVE 4 TB 7200 RPM Professional-Strength External Hard Drive, Silver (0G02537) is as strong, well-constructed external hard drive. The device is easily connected to your MAC or PC via a USB cable and the data transfers quickly. This device has a 7200rpm hard disk and the data is accessed quickly and easily. I have two of these drives and use them as external back up devices. This device works as intended and I have had great results with this hard drive. Review: Good drive for desktop backup - The drive arrived in good shape. Well packed and all cords needed to connect the drive were included. The drive is quiet and backing up to it is fast and painless. I recently had a drive failure on my iMac and I was depending on the Time machine backup to allow a full restore. Apparently, the failure in the drive was bad enough that it corrupted the files on my time machine backup. After 12 hours of trying to mount the time machine backup I decided I needed a more reliable solution to the issue. I chose this product to serve as that solution. I recommend this device for anyone who needs a reliable backup drive. ## Features - Can store up to 150 hours of DV digital video, 425 4.7GB DVD video discs, or 500,000 MP3 files - USB 3.0, or FireWire-800 (or 400 via cable) - Fan-less cooling system for near-silent operation - Connects to FireWire-400 systems using included adapter cable - Compatible with Mac and Windows systems / Compatible with OS X Time Machine ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B009DYCU6Q | | Best Sellers Rank | #678 in External Hard Drives | | Brand | G-Technology | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (279) | | Date First Available | September 20, 2012 | | Flash Memory Size | 2 | | Hard Drive | 2 TB External | | Hard Drive Interface | USB 3.0 | | Hard Drive Rotational Speed | 7200 RPM | | Hardware Platform | Mac | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 9.25 x 5.12 x 1.85 inches | | Item Weight | 2.98 pounds | | Item model number | 0G02529 | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | G-Technology | | Product Dimensions | 9.25 x 5.12 x 1.85 inches | | Series | G-DRIVE | ## Product Details - **Brand:** G-Technology - **Color:** Silver - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop - **Connectivity Technology:** Firewire, USB - **Digital Storage Capacity:** 2 TB - **Hard Disk Description:** External - **Hard Disk Form Factor:** 3.5 Inches - **Hard Disk Interface:** USB 3.0 - **Installation Type:** Plug In - **Special Feature:** Portable ## Images ![G-Technology G-DRIVE Professional External Hard Drive 2TB (Gen5, USB 3.0/FireWire 800) (0G02529) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81jfJ4hcp+L.jpg) ![G-Technology G-DRIVE Professional External Hard Drive 2TB (Gen5, USB 3.0/FireWire 800) (0G02529) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/818CWOuwfAL.jpg) ![G-Technology G-DRIVE Professional External Hard Drive 2TB (Gen5, USB 3.0/FireWire 800) (0G02529) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81LhGfgv4rL.jpg) ![G-Technology G-DRIVE Professional External Hard Drive 2TB (Gen5, USB 3.0/FireWire 800) (0G02529) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81KuNULaaEL.jpg) ![G-Technology G-DRIVE Professional External Hard Drive 2TB (Gen5, USB 3.0/FireWire 800) (0G02529) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81aAKe2Cp9L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Which company makes the actual disk?

Glad I did as the iMac died a few months latter and I was able to recover all my data. The USB 3.0 interface came in handy as my replacement machine (a PC) has USB 3 interfaces. The product included cables for all of the interfaces on the drive so no need to hunt down separate cables. Using Windows 7 drive does sleep, however when using Mavericks the drives do not sleep which per G-Tech customer support is an issue with the Mavericks release. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/2192765-g-technology-g-drive-professional-external-hard-drive-2tb-gen5](https://www.desertcart.es/products/2192765-g-technology-g-drive-professional-external-hard-drive-2tb-gen5) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
