## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'm confused. it says thunderbolt 3 but lists the speed at 180mbs which is closer to usb 3 speeds not thunderbolt 3 speeds. what is the correct speed?**
A: There is a common misconception that a Thunderbolt connection is going to automatically provide amazing transfer rates measured in GB per second. That is theoretical only though, meaning only that the interface is "capable" of attaining such speeds. In real life, the drive itself is the limiting factor - it can only read or write data so fast, regardless of what the cable is capable of carrying.

Inside the G-Drive housing is a single 3.5" SATA hard disk drive. Whether this particular HDD is mounted inside a computer with a direct SATA connection, or is mounted in the G-Drive external enclosure and connected via TB3 or USB-C, this HDD itself is only capable of moving data at about 180MB/s. That is the most you will get out of it, regardless of connection. The USB-C and TB3 interfaces will BOTH provide the same results, since both are capable of far greater speeds than the drive can deliver.

Now if you go to something like a G-RAID unit which combines two drives together in one housing, then you will get faster rates (with either interface) up to 250MB/s. An SSD drive will be faster yet as is the nature of SSD. In fact, I just tested a G-Drive Pro SSD unit and got results in excess of 2000MB/s. All about the drive speed.

Regarding this particular drive, it will also include a USB 3.0 cable and that will provide the same speed as the Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C cables, again because the drive speed is nowhere near what these 3 interfaces are capable of so they all handle it equally well. If you get into a super-fast drive like the G-Drive Pro SSD mentioned above, that is where Thunderbolt 3 can really deliver the goods!

**Q: Can the drive be powered by usb c alone, or does it always need to be plugged in for use?**
A: High-capacity hard disk drives are not bus-powered.  They need to be plugged into your building's electrical sockets.

**Q: If this is Thunderbolt 3, why is the data transfer only 240 Mb/s?**
A: A single spinning hard disk drive (HDD) can only deliver up data so fast, regardless of the interface used. You will get the same performance from this drive whether using Thunderbolt 3, USB-C, or USB 3.0 interface.  To really take advantage of fast interfaces like USB-C and Thunderbolt 3, you need RAID units that combine multiple drives together for higher throughput than a single drive can offer. SSD drives are also faster than HDD. The drive itself is the limiting factor and not the cable used.

**Q: If i use thunderbolt 3 cable, do i still need to use the dc cable to power it?**
A: All external 3.5" drives require AC power, none are bus-powered. Only some of the smaller 2.5" portable externals can be bus-powered.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No noise, speed, or heat issues, still photography storage
*by X***Z on August 11, 2019*

One week review. Have additional GRaid drives with no problems over years which made me go to Drives. Decided I would add non raid drives to another system. Doing still photography about 1Tb+ per year and using LR and PS. Use for photo storage only. Purchased Thunderbolt for enterprise quality and daisy chain capability. Speed is adequate and can process from drive with "maybe" minimal lag - so far not enough to move a current process file to SSD internal which is option on my system. No noise issue and does not run too hot. Noise is less than my raid drives. Purchased a cheaper USB C same size Drive for direct clone backup of TB drive. This drive is less speed dependent and I connect to USB port saving my other TB port. Very pleased with system. Non TB same width and height but lengh less, nevertheless stacks well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable. Don’t hesitate. Get one.
*by R***E on May 14, 2021*

I was skeptical but I’m very pleased after a couple months. The thunderbolt is great. It did require an adapter and I opted for a 6’ cable which adds @ 100$ cost but I can now free up 2 USB ports with the included 2nd port on the hard drive. Because I have 2 thundebolt displays I can now reach the 5’ from my primary faster i7 cpu and the 2nd monitor attached to an i5 which won’t play 4K smoothly. I used the back of the displays 2nd USB port to accommodate that.The drive has performed flawlessly. I have an ssd drive on the hard drives 2nd thunderbolt/usb port.I was having odd random connectivity issue with my previous western digital drive. I have had zero issues with this drive. I wish it was as fast as an ssd but I never notice any issue unless the drive is resting and I see a spinning icon and a brief pause as it kicks in. Actually working with HD audio and graphics seems virtually as fast as an SSD once the drive is woke.Unless you are doing video work and have huge files think 2 of these would serve most folks better than the raid drive which I think only gets you 14 Tb for around the same price as 2 of these 14 Tb drives. The money is generally better put into more space vs the speed increase a raid might achieve. Raid drives have come a long way but are still notorious for failing.I add 2 Tb usb Ssd drives as I can afford for vsts and samples I want to be available immediately and try to keep general storage stuff on these drives so speed is less of an issue.Mine haven’t got noticeably hot. There’s is a slight click when it’s working. It’s not an issue unless you’re recording vocals. The drive would need to be moved away from the microphone.

### ⭐ HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE drive
