Review: It AIn't Gold, But... - So far, so good...it's in line to replace '(G)old Faithful' as my new drive for my music production stuff. I have a gold Touro 1GB drive and wanted to replace that with the same drive, but Toshiba had other plans. This is the best 2GB 7200rpm drive I've looked at, especially for the price. Functionality will always trump aesthetics. I'm OK with that when it comes to this. UPDATE (8 Aug 2020): A few things...1) This is NOT a 7200rpm drive. Not sure how I wasn't aware of this at the time of purchase, but that certainly does help to explain why this drive has stopped working. 2) Two years wasn't too bad as far as time served for storing and accessing music files and projects, but knowing this is under LIMITED warranty does help. 3) I ignored the experts saying SSD's are the way to go when shopping for a replacement for the original 1TB/7200rpm drive (which STILL WORKS to this day) and went with this...live and learn, yo. If this drive is available and you're dead set on getting this, please know and understand that you're doing so at your own risk. Numerous projects and files are likely unrecoverable (maybe ones last saved around spring of 2019 should be good to go, but after that is a crapshoot), and I wasn't aware of a cloud save option through their website. Save yourself the trouble if you're into music production at any level at all and look into SSDs. A 5400rpm drive is just asking for heartache. Review: Whisper Quiet - I am using this back up drive on an iMac desktop computer and it replaces a much older G drive external unit that was beginning to have issues. This new drive is completely quiet and very small. It fits perfectly on the foot pad of my monitor and is completely out of the way. I use this unit for my Time Machine back-ups and, unlike the older unit which was much bulkier and noisy, I don’t even know it’s there. Set up was a breeze - just plugged it in and it was ready to go. I really like the fact that it is noiseless because the distracting noise of the thrashing hard drive on the older unit was the primary reason I replaced it. It would be better if it had some type of hard drive activity indicator light, but other than that it is performing as expected. ## Features - Stylish, aluminum design to compliment your Mac - USB C ready; USB A compatible - With capacities up to 4TB capacity of portable storage - Plug and play USB connectivity - Manufacturer's 3 year limited warranty ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B076Y128SH | | Additional Features | Time Machine compatible | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,101 in External Hard Drives | | Brand | WD | | Built-In Media | USB-A cable, USB-C cable, Mac software | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 2 | | Color | Silver | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Laptop, Television | | Connectivity Technology | USB 3.0 | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (215) | | Data Transfer Rate | 625 Megabits Per Second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 2 TB | | Enclosure Material | Aluminum | | Form Factor | Portable | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00705487206319 | | Hard Disk Description | Portable Mechanical Hard Disk with USB 3.0 Interface | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 2.5 Inches | | Hard Disk Interface | USB 1.1 | | Hard-Drive Size | 2 TB | | Hardware Connectivity | PCI | | Installation Type | External Hard Drive | | Item Weight | 140 Grams | | Manufacturer | G-Technology | | Media Speed | 65 megabytes_per_second | | Model Name | G-DRIVE Mobile | | Model Number | 0G06072 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Read Speed | 130 Megabytes Per Second | | Specific Uses For Product | Storage | | UPC | 705487206319 | | Warranty Description | 3 year manufacturer limited | ## Product Details - **Brand:** WD - **Color:** Silver - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop, Laptop, Television - **Connectivity Technology:** USB 3.0 - **Digital Storage Capacity:** 2 TB - **Hard Disk Description:** Portable Mechanical Hard Disk with USB 3.0 Interface - **Hard Disk Form Factor:** 2.5 Inches - **Hard Disk Interface:** USB 1.1 - **Installation Type:** External Hard Drive - **Special Feature:** Time Machine compatible ## Images ![G-Technology 2TB G-DRIVE mobile USB 3.0 Portable External Hard Drive, Silver - 0G06072-1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71TCRxnkERL.jpg) ![G-Technology 2TB G-DRIVE mobile USB 3.0 Portable External Hard Drive, Silver - 0G06072-1 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61-KffLTxgL.jpg) ![G-Technology 2TB G-DRIVE mobile USB 3.0 Portable External Hard Drive, Silver - 0G06072-1 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61UB3ajae+L.jpg) ![G-Technology 2TB G-DRIVE mobile USB 3.0 Portable External Hard Drive, Silver - 0G06072-1 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/718Aa9KrhDL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It AIn't Gold, But... *by O***T on April 29, 2018* So far, so good...it's in line to replace '(G)old Faithful' as my new drive for my music production stuff.

Works especially good with MacBook 17'' and 18'' which only has type-C port. Also has a fair pricing. Very recommended. Only suggestion was to add the label "microUSB 3.0 to USB type-C" on the package to make it clearer. I was just about to return it before I actually opened the box. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/55110805-g-technology-2tb-g-drive-mobile-usb-3-0-portable](https://www.desertcart.us/products/55110805-g-technology-2tb-g-drive-mobile-usb-3-0-portable) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
