G-Technology1.92TB G-DRIVE Pro SSD with Thunderbolt 3 External Desktop Storage - 0G10280-1
M**I
Not even close to advertised performance of 2800MB/s
I'm sorry to say, G-Drive really screwed me on this one, and I'll never risk buying one of their products again.The 2TB drive SSD Pro line with Thunderbolt 3 was purchased because it is advertised at 2800MBs sustained and has Thunderbolt 3. $2,000 is crazy high amount for a 2TB drive at moment, but they were presumed to be a company that delivered. They did not.The actual bench marks for this drive are sitting at <800MBs write, and <2200MBs read on all application (Black Magic System Test and AJA Videos Systems at all sizes - screen shots included.Test were conducted under the G-Drive Tech support supervision using a mid year 2019 Mac running the latest and greatest and connected to Thunderbolt 3. After running the tests, G-Technical support consulted their engineering team which came back with the answer that the drive was performing within spec, and that the 2800 numbers were ONLY for the 7.68 TB version in the family, not for the whole line. Further becuase the drive was purchased through an Amazon Partner, they refused to refund it or swap it to something that met the advertised performance.I've opened a false advertising complaint with the Better Business Bureau ( BBB CASE#: 706666 ) to seek resolution. Bottom line if you are looking for a fast drive for video processing, this is not it - and it's not a company worth doing business with either.

An excellent adjunct to iMac Pro
This serves as a second drive for the new iMac Pro, utilizing essentially the same storage technology as found in the computer itself. It installed easily and, thus far, has performed to my expectations.
