Reviews of the G-Tech G-Drive mini Triple (200GB, 7200rpm)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Fast FireWire 800 throughput; FireWire interface is bus-powered; OS X-ready, cool and quiet during operation, three-year warranty.
The Bad: High cost per GB; subpar FireWire 400 throughput speed; not Windows XP-friendly, USB 2.0 requires separate power adapter purchase.
The Bottom Line: Unless you are using a Mac with a FireWire 800 port, G-Tech's G-Drive mini Triple portable hard drive holds little appeal.
