G DRIVE®

Using Your Drive on Mac

Easy Installation for Mac

G-DRIVE attaches to your computer via the USB 3.0 (backwards compatible with USB 2.0), or one of two FireWire 800 ports. FireWire 400 connectivity is handled by a 9 to 6 pin cable (included). Choose the connection appropriate for your system and connect G-DRIVE with the matching supplied cable.

Connect the power cord to the unit and plug the other end into a surge protector or wall outlet. Turn on the power switch. The drive will automatically mount on the desktop if you are running Mac OS X.

Optimize Performance

G-DRIVE can be connected to any Mac machine equipped with a USB 3.0, FireWire 800 or FireWire 400 port. For Windows, use the USB port.

For best performance, we recommend connecting your G-DRIVE via USB 3.0.
