Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 6TB G-DRIVE fast enough for editing video directly off the drive?
It offers rated speeds up to 250MB/s read and write over USB-C 10Gbps. That suits backup, transfer, and playback of many projects, though a mechanical 7200RPM drive trails an SSD for heavy real-time editing.
Does the advertised 280MB/s speed apply to this 6TB model?
No. G-DRIVE lists up to 280MB/s read and write only for the 22TB and 24TB capacities. This 6TB unit is rated up to 250MB/s in both directions.
Can I use this G-DRIVE with a Windows PC?
The drive ships Mac-ready, so Windows users will most likely need to reformat it before first use. The USB-C 10Gbps interface itself is compatible with Windows machines.
What kind of drive is actually inside the enclosure?
An enterprise-class Ultrastar mechanism spinning at 7200RPM. This is the same class of drive built for demanding, high-duty workloads rather than a standard consumer disk.
Can I attach this drive to production gear on set?
Yes. It includes anchor points designed to fasten the unit to a DIT cart, mounting plate, or other equipment, and the anodized aluminum enclosure is stackable for tidy multi-drive setups.
How long is the warranty on the G-DRIVE 6TB?
Western Digital backs it with a 3-year limited warranty.
