G-Technology (http://www.g-technology.com) has announced the G-DRIVE mobile USB-C, a new portable drive that speeds up and streamlines the storage and backup process using the latest USB Type-C technology. USB Type-C is the next-generation connector tailored to fit into thinner and lighter notebooks, like the 12-inch Apple MacBook.
Bus-powered, it requires no external power brick. The G-DRIVE mobile USB-C is available in gold, space grey, and silver models. It sports a 7200 RPM hard drive for transfer rates up to 136MB/s. The G-Drive ships with one USB Type-C to Type-C cable and one USB Type-C to Type-A cable, allowing for backward compatibility.
Shipping this month, the gold and space gray colors will be available exclusively at Apple Stores, and the silver color will be available at G-Technology resellers. For the 1TB capacity, the manufacturers suggested retail price is $129.95.
