Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Great deal for a portable raid, but there's a couple points to know. Usb 3 requires a power cable. The mini is nice and compact. Fast enough to edit sd video footage, and a great back up drive.

This drive blows all other backup drives out of the cyber pond. The only complain i have is you are required to use the software to switch from the orignal raid0 mode to raid1 mode, no hardware switch. This drive is one way of addressing the issue.



Cons

G-tech's g-raid mini is a substandard hard drive. Don't rely on g-technology's warranty. Never buy one from hitachi. Data recovery costs $1,000.

    Another complain is if you want to upgrade the hd inside yourself you will void the warranty

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The speed and capacity of this drive allows me to edit raw footage right over the firewire 800 cable instead of copying it to a local drive


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Its only portable with a firewire 800 connector
