Its pair of Thunderbolt ports means you can hook six units to one another with a single cable going to a Mac (or PC). The 18TB version is the most impressive of a family of high capacity drives that start at 4TB.

The G-Drive Pro delivers just that by using a fast 7200 RPM class Ultrastar HDD capable of up to 195 MB/s inside its attractive aluminum case. But if you added one USB-C port capable of working at 5 GBps and two Thunderbolt ports plus you pre-formatted the drive to be macOS ready, then you have the ultimate Mac external hard drive. If you take an enterprise hard drive and put it inside a durable aluminum case with a portable, stylish design you would get a great external hard drive.

Expensive per GB -Must be reformatted for PC use If youвЂ™re looking for the most storage for your money, look no further. While 12 terabytes should be enough storage expansion to keep you happy for a long time and store plenty of backups, work files or entertainment, larger versions are available:, capacities start at 3TB and go up to four, six, eight, ten, 12, 14, 16 and up to a whopping 18TB. Mac users, of course, can just plug and reformat the drive, after a little wait it will work as well.ДЄs a desktop drive inside an external enclosure, the WD Elements are not USB-port powered drives, each comes with its own wall wart style power adapter about the size of the average cell phone charger -with a barrel connector. The product is pre-formatted with NTFS making it ready to use with Windows computers, a handy gesture considering that if you attempt to do a a full-format -as opposed to a 'quick format'- on a capacity as large as 12TB you might end up waiting all day for it to finish. When stacked vertically and with plenty of air gap around, the drives should last much longer than internal ones packed close to a hot CPU or stacked horizontally on top of one another. In the guts of the WD Elements you will find a 3.5-inch, desktop SATA drive capable of 6Gbs transfer rates with the added USB 3.0 to SATA interface. This seemingly trivial fact not only saves desk space but also keeps the drive's internals cooler. WD has designed its Elements drives with an attractive case that stands vertically.

Seagate would like you to install its 'Dashboard' software for Windows and Mac OS, yet the drive works perfectly fine on any OS without it.

Its 5Gbps USB 3 interface makes it very fast and compatible with everything. Speaking of 'backups of backups', this drive is available in several colors so you might want to buy it in red if you want it to stand out in a drawer full of black HDDs, or use different colours to separate different projects while keeping track of 'which drive contains what'. How good is your backup if when you're trying to restore it you find the drive is dead? Yes, even your backups should have redundancy if you're serious about it. One differentiating factor is the offer of a 1-Year Data Recovery Warranty, although we should stress that they are not magic if your drive is wrecked. It measures 7.62cm by 11.43cm and is only 1.9cm thick (3 x 4.5 x 0.75 inches) and weighs slightly over 200 grams (about half a pound). Lacks Thunderbolt support -No built-in encryption/security featuresДЇor the price that until recently used to get you four, Seagate offers five TB of storage in a small device that fits in your pocket and can be used across many platforms.
