Premium entrant into the external storage arena. Though solid-state drives (SSDs) have made a big splash inside the PC, the market for external PC storage remains dominated by the humble mechanical disk. The reason is simple enough: capacity, and anyone looking to store more than 1TB invariably heads towards a pre-packaged solution housing a large-capacity 3.5in drive - a tried-and-trusted combination.

That's not to say these external enclosures are boring. Seagate upped the design stakes with its USB 3.1 Type-C-powered Innov8, LaCie's efforts can hardly be described as ugly, and now a 'new' entrant vies for your style points and wallet. Enter the G-Technology G-Drive Thunderbolt 3.
