I wanted to take the 4TB disk out of a G-Technology G-DRIVE unit to use in another enclosure with USB 3.0 and thought I’d install a spare disk in the case after I finished.

Perfect timing. It seems my G-Drive just died as it won’t even mount and Disk Utility can’t open it or repair it. I took the unit apart and it’s a 4TB HGST SATA drive. Will any 3.5” SATA drive work as a replacement or do I need to pay attention to the voltage ratings, etc? Or do I just buy an OWC Elite Pro drive/enclosure and put this G-Drive out to pasture?
My old macbook late 2008 wont detect the fw800 thru thunderbolt 2. Usb 2 works just fine tho
I have my old G drive broken and need to replace it . I hope this video will help me to get it started !!
best tutorial!!! tank!
Hello Brian..
I have a G-Technology G-Drive with Thunderbolt 3TB that unfortunately had a kind of electric problem..so to explain shortly, the hard disk is ok and fully functionnal but the Disk case alimentation is not working anymore..just wondering if you think there is a possibility to repair this kind of problem and where to search for help..thanks by advance for your advice and answer..regards..J.C
Legally speaking, "warranty void" stickers aren't valid/ or legal if you're in the US, because of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act from the 70's. The problem is, are you going to spend the cost for a lawyer and court costs to take the company to court over something that costs less than $200. You would win, but at what cost. That's the real issue and why companies that put them on there do it.
If I replaced the HDD with an SSD, would the G-Drive support trim if it was a thunderbolt enclosure?
Hello, what's the HDD model inside ?
Thanks!
Good deal! Thought I'd have to throw it away, but now I'll get a replacement drive… good work!
Brian could you put a SSD in this?
Is it possible to put an SSD in it?
Hello Brian my 4tb hard drive has lost power what do i do?
Hello, do the drives need to equal in size to work properly as a single volume?
Any suggestions on good makes of drive? I was considering a SSD.
this works great if the drives are empty or will be wiped/formatted. alot of these enclosures do something to the partition table that makes them only viewable in that enclosure. once you take them out and use them in a mac or pc, the partitions will not be viewable, so be careful. i've had this happen to me with lacie and gtech drives and it was a horrible experience. i had to use recovery software to pull all the data off safely. secondly, if its a dual drive enclosure, your pretty much guaranteed it wont be seen outside the enclosure since they are usually in a RAID array in the inclosure.
Thank you very much for this very informative video.
Great vid. How about G-raids ?
THANKS! Replaced and upgraded from 2 TB to 3 TB in a jiffy!
Have
you done it with G RAIDS?
Good work!
