help G-Technology G-Drive USB-C FAQ
Is the G-Technology G-Drive USB-C formatted for Mac or Windows out of the box?
The drive comes pre-formatted in HFS+ (Mac OS Extended) straight out of the box, making it instantly plug-and-play for macOS users. Windows users will need to reformat the drive using the Disk Management tool before they can write files to it.
Does the G-Technology G-Drive USB-C work as a portable drive without an external power supply?
No, because it houses a high-performance 7200RPM desktop-class hard drive, it requires the included AC power adapter to operate. It is not a bus-powered portable drive, meaning you cannot power it solely from the USB-C port on a laptop.
What kind of USB cable does the G-Technology G-Drive USB-C include?
The desktop hard drive includes a USB 3.1 Gen 1 cable with a USB-C connector on both ends. For older laptops, you may need a separate USB-C to USB-A adapter since a standard USB cable is not provided.
What is the warranty period for the G-Technology G-Drive USB-C?
Western Digital backs these G-Drive desktop units with a limited 3-year manufacturer's warranty. The drive is engineered specifically for heavy-duty Mac environments and is optimized for Time Machine backups.
