On each trip I have worked with two drives, keeping one as a primary and the other as secondary backup. Testing the drives out, they have accompanied me on a few international trips, coming as my primary and backup drives for work in the Falklands, Canada, and Finland. Of course, the case adds an extra amount of bulk to the setup that might be a problem for those photographers wanting to keep things as small as possible, but personally, I think the extra size is a worthy trade off for the added protection. The cords are built into the case itself so you don’t need to worry about forgetting them, a really well thought out design. The G-Drive ev ATC comes in two varieties, offering Thunderbolt or USB-3 connections for your chosen device. It seals closed with a latch system that might seem flimsy, but offers a solid click and seal to ensure the drive is closed off from the elements. The polycarbonate shell feels very solid in the hand and fits the drive like a glove. The case itself is solid – the simple blue and black design that is stylish and bright enough to easily find in dark conditions.
#G TECHNOLOGY G DRIVE REVIEW FULL#
The ATC builds upon the standard RaW and ev drives by adding a polycarbonate protective shell to the main drive offering protection from bumps, dust, sand and even full submergence in water to keep your drive and data safe. The ATC is part of the G-technology ev series, a set of drives offering a simple workflow from the field to the studio. Recently I have been putting the G-Technology G-Drive ev ATC hard drives through their paces and I think these might just be one of the best rugged and solid ways to keep data safe on the move. As a wildlife photographer, I often find myself out in the elements, and when traveling, my gear has to put up with the rugged nature of travel, while still being ready to work when called upon. Being able to trust your hard drives to work and survive all types of conditions and hardships is something to consider. As photographers, keeping our data safe is of the utmost importance.
