I’ve tried so many different hard drives over the past 5 years of editing and I’ve found one brand to make the best mobile drives.
1. G-technology G-Drive Slim
The name says it all. At a few millimeters thicker than a iPhone, this is one of the thinest drives you can buy. I like to use this drive for dailies, extra backups and as a general use drive.
Check out Caleb’s review on the G-Drive Slim:
G-Drive Slim Specs
- 500GB
- Super slim design
- 7200RPM
- USB 3.0
2. G-RAID Mini
Also made by G-Technology, The G-RAID is a drive designed for secure backups. With the two internal drives, you can have your data mirrored (RAID-1) or as one large readable drive (JBOD). I love this little guy for long projects on the roard. Gives me two copies of all my assets and peace of mind while traveling.
G-RAID Mini Specs
- Up to 2TB of storage
- Small compact design
- Two RAID settings
- USB 3.0
- 2x Firewire 800 ports
