G-Technology 2TB G-DRIVE ev RaW USB 3.0 Hard Drive with Rugged Bumper

Description

Lightweight at 0.24kg, the rugged and portable 2TB G-DRIVE ev RaW USB 3.0 Hard Drive with Rugged Bumper from G-Technology 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. Moreover, the G-DRIVE ev RaW is outfitted with technologies that enable transfer speeds of up to 136 MB/s.

This drive is well suited for performing various tasks, such as backing up, editing, transferring, and general storage, as it is equipped with a 2TB capacity and a rotational speed of 5400 rpm. The drive has two built-in interfaces - USB 3.0 and SATA. The USB 3.0 interface is 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 utilise 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 2TB 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 2TB G-DRIVE ev RaW USB 3.0 drive operates solely using bus power and includes a USB 3.0 cable.
