G-Technology may be a lesser-known brand at first glance, but when I say names like WD and SanDisk, you’re sure to know what I mean. Of the three interconnected brands, G-Drive is profiled as the premium one, aimed mainly at creators and MacOS users. Mobile Pro SSD is a new addition to the family, which will impress with its Thunderbolt 3 connection and extreme speeds well above 1 GB/s.
Write: practical tests
Practical tests in Windows show us that the G-Drive lags a bit behind the P50, which is a surprise. With large 9 GB and 24–36 MB files, it loses 13/11%, which is noticeable. We noticed worse results with 5–10 MB and especially smaller 427–1235 kB files, where the G-Drive fell to the third and even sixth place, which is surpassed even by cheaper SSDs with USB connection. However, the G-Drive starred with the smallest 12–59 kB files, where all SSDs except the PXD reach poor speeds. In this test, it is about three times faster than the competition, but it also has a third of the performance of the PXD.
Zápis: syntetické testy
Synthetic write tests more or less confirm the findings from practical tests and thus the high speed in sequential writing, but weaker results in medium-sized files. The slower access time is also surprising. The question is whether this was not caused by the utility for reading the HFS storage, or by some problem with the TB3 driver on the tested motherboard.
