G-Technology 1TB G-DRIVE ev RaW USB 3.0 Hard Drive with Rugged Bumper

The G-Technology 1TB G-DRIVE ev RaW USB 3.0 Hard Drive with Rugged Bumper is designed for those who require on-the-go access to their personal and/or professional files, photos, videos, music, and more. When the included removable bumper is attached to the drive, it is better protected against falls of up to 4.9' / 1.5m on a carpeted concrete floor. If the bumper is not being used and the drive sustains a fall, it still receives some protection, but only up to 3.9' / 1.2m.

This drive is well suited for performing various tasks, such as backing up, editing, transferring, and general storage, as it is equipped with a 1TB capacity and a rotational speed of 7200 rpm. The drive has two built-in interfaces - USB 3.0 and SATA. The USB 3.0 interface, which is also backwards compatible with USB 2.0, provides data transfer speeds of up to 5 Gb/s and will allow users to connect the drive directly to their desktop or laptop. For those who wish to utilize the drive's SATA interface, this may only be done using the expandable and hot-swappable storage solution G-DOCK ev with Thunderbolt.

While the 1TB G-DRIVE ev RaW does come pre-formatted for Mac, it can be easily re-formatted for Windows. When used on a Mac, it is compatible with Mac OS X 10.7+ and also supports Time Machine and plug-and-play setup. When re-formatted and used with Windows, it is compatible with Windows 8.1, 8, and 7. This drive is also compatible with any Evolution Series G-DRIVE ev product. The 1TB G-DRIVE ev RaW USB 3.0 Hard Drive with Rugged Bumper operates solely using bus power and includes a USB 3.0 cable.
