Thank you so much for addressing the formatting issue. You have been the only video I could find on the fix for this problem. Saved me a lot of frustration!
The drive is more towards their professional video line. And the pro video industry mostly uses Macs. That’s why most of their G-Drive line is preformated for MacOS.
any long term review/update? Any reports of overheating issues? I stopped using ALL my Sandisk Extreme 2TB SSDs...too hot while editing...how about this one? Speed is great but would hate to lose my data
I seem to be having a very common problem with the G40 and WIN11. After about 10 minutes the drive simply disconnects and freezes the computer. Unplugging it resolves the problem and the computer unfreezes.
Common? Have not see this myself or heard of it. I have two of them and ise them on Win 11 and sometimes I have them plugged in for couple hours. I will always watch out for that.
I just returned the G40 ... new Mac Studio M2 Max ... the unit would not even mount consistently ... maybe just a bad device ... but not willing to risk my data ... very disappointed ...
Yeah that is odd. I have 2 of them now. These have been very reliable for me in the past 2 months. Are you plugging it in to different ports all the time. It only works with Thunderbolt and USB 3.2 gen 2.

It's great to hear that!
Been looking forward to this review!
Probably the best video on this drive. As a Mac user I didn’t find the APFS formatting as annoying though 🤣
Amazon has two versions available. Mac formatted and a windows formatted :)
mine came with an APFS FORMATTED sticker on it. My guess is everyone on Windows machines were having this same issue and they've added that sticker.
Very good content bro!

Just annoying. Should be able to choose for Win/Mac then
Thanks for the review of the drive impressive

Hey! What SLC cash (NAND) it has ? When the speed is getting down ? After how much gas written?

So far, no issues. I never keep the external drive plugged in for a lone time
It doesn’t work with iPhone 15 pro. I returned it. I wanted a fast drive I could use with iPhone iPad and iMac. I’m getting the Samsung T9.

Are these G40s included in the 3-4 Class action lawsuits Western Digital is facing?
I don't think so, no
