Manufacturer description

The G-Technology 14TB G-DRIVE is a desktop external hard drive for creators who fill drives fast.

Two Thunderbolt 3 ports connect the drive to a Mac or PC and let you daisy-chain up to 5 more devices, such as another drive or a display, from one port on your computer.

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored G-Technology 14TB G-DRIVE using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the external storage category. G-Technology's external storage lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for external storage of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the G-Technology 14TB G-DRIVE work with Windows PCs?

Yes. It works plug-and-play on Mac and can be reformatted for Windows. Reformat it to NTFS or exFAT in Windows Disk Management before you use it.

Can I connect it to a computer that doesn't have Thunderbolt 3?

Yes. Besides its two Thunderbolt 3 ports, the drive has a USB-C port that supports USB 3.1 Gen 1, so it connects to standard USB-C computers. Expect lower speeds than over Thunderbolt.

How many devices can I daisy chain through the G-DRIVE?

The dual Thunderbolt 3 ports let you daisy-chain up to 5 more devices, such as other drives or a display, through a single Thunderbolt connection to your computer.

What kind of drive is inside the 14TB G-DRIVE?

It uses a 14TB enterprise-class hard drive spinning at 7200RPM, inside an all-aluminum enclosure. It is a mechanical hard drive, not an SSD.

Is the 14TB G-DRIVE good for video editing?

It is built for storage-heavy work like audio/video editing and digital photography. Its 14TB capacity suits project storage and archives. For heavy multi-stream timelines, many editors use a separate SSD as a scratch drive. Check the product listing for rated transfer speeds and warranty terms.
