[Yes] Right out of the box it was simple as plug it in and go. This drive starts when you computer does with no set up procedure or special software. The outside construction is sturdy, clean and easily stackable with my over drives. Its is super fast when save over files and so far shows no problems. Very pleased with my purchase.

[0.05 lb] Excellent device. Pretty, small, fast (using it via Firewire 800), quiet and safe (RAID redundancy). Using it for my Aperture library and it works really well. Built for continuous use (built in fan, also very quiet).

[1x 2.5"] I've been using this for editing HD video and it's been working great! My only complaint it the obnoxiously bright light on the front of the drive, which gets even brighter when the drive is working. Sometimes I set things in front of it to block it out.

[SATA 3 (6 Gb/s)] I bought and use the G-Raid as a Raid 1 back up. You lose some storage space but you wont lose your data. The firewire speed is awesome just wake speed is the only thing that can let it down, but not noticeably. Its quieter than the G-raid mini i have for portable back up which i don't understand. It is big and heavy so don't buy this if your thinking of taking it on travels with you, it will eat your baggage allowance! Just wish i cold make use of the e-sata connection and really let it fly.

[Yes] We are hard on our equipment with rush deadlines, fast turnarounds, anxious clients, we have to work fast! This superfast G-Tech drive helps us deliver great results every time. We could not work without it!

[Plastic] I bought the 4TB G-RAID as a backup since my 2TB drive was full. I am a professional writer/producer/editor, so my footage and other data are extremely important. Before I bought this product, I spent a lot of time looking at other drives before I settled on the G-RAID. I liked the fact that it is designed for what I do - video. It was also very attractively priced and is a good compact size, so it doesn't take up much room at my work station. I've had it for a few weeks now and so far, it is quiet and dependable. It was easy to set up - just plugged it in. While I cannot predict the future, the fact is that there is no such thing as a perfect hard drive regardless of the brand or model. But I can say that I am completely satisfied with this product.

[1x 2.5"] I'm going to use this as my production drive for video editing.

[1x 2.5"] Does what I intended it to do. Only bug is that I have to manually turn on hard drive each time I start up my computer. Other external hard drives start up automatically. Perhaps I have some setting wrong.

[1x 2.5"] Great HD. Quiet and Fast.

[15 mm] I'm using it to edit my new documentary on my Alienware M15x through esata port no multiport-aware with dvcpro data from my panasonic Ag Hvx200 + 1- No esata port cards needed 2- perfect amount of space for a documentary 3- really really fast 4- works out of the box on my Ubuntu 10.10, Windows 7 partitions and my mac. 5- silent and pretty. 6- just cant have more ports - 1- you are stuck with the amount of space that you buy
