You can find it for $119.95 (with limited 3-year warranty) in MacBook-specific colors exclusively from the Apple Store. Thanks to the availability of adapters and specialized USB-C cables, you don’t necessarily need a USB-C-enabled hard drive to connect to your MacBook, but if you’re looking for one of the simplest configurations available, and you don’t mind having a spinning disk, then the mobile USB-C Drive from G-Technology is a solid choice. Neither of the aforementioned complaints would keep me from using the drive, however. While the drive does features top and bottom aluminum panels, the panels are thin and feature a black plastic perimeter that makes the overall build quality feel one step below premium. If you wish to view the status indicator, you’ll need to point the drive’s USB cable towards you, which isn’t ideal in my opinion.

First, the status indicator light is right next to the USB port on the drive’s housing. There are a few concerns that I wanted to highlight about this drive. Not only did it play nice with Time Machine backups, but it was also recognized by my AirPort Extreme base station when connected to its USB port. G-Technology states that the mobile USB-C drive works with Apple’s Time Machine, and I can vouch for the legitimacy of that claim. Using my go-to benchmarking app, QuickBench, the average read speeds hovered around 127MB/s and write speeds weren’t far behind that. Most importantly, the drive comes very close to its speed claims. Not only is it small, but it’s lightweight enough at 6 oz.

The mobile USB-C drive features USB 3.1 Gen 1, which maxes out at 5Gbps. G-Technology includes two extra-stout looking USB-C cables - one, a USB-C to USB-C cable, and another USB-C to USB-A cable for interfacing with older hardware. This means that you can easily connect it to your MacBook with a single USB-C cable and handle your business. The best thing about this drive, besides its usage of USB-C, is that it’s bus powered. The speed of the drive is thanks to the 7200 RPM Western Digital hard drive enclosed inside the aluminum and plastic housing. As such, it’s not as fast as solid state offerings, but it comes pretty close to its 136MB/s speed rating.
