Will this work with the MacBook Pro 13-inch, Mid 2012?
- Asked by Alex S from Lancing

Answer
It will work with any computer with a standard USB port. Please note, that in order to get the ad It will work with any computer with a standard USB port. Please note, that in order to get the advertised speed, you need to use at least a USB 3.0 port. I believe the 2012 MacBook Pro was the first Apple laptop with USB 3.0. You can confirm that by: Hold down the option key (keep it pressed) Click mose on the Apple Icon in top left. Choose 'System Report' Scroll down to USB, and see if it is USB 3 .0 Hub, or USB 2.0 Hub. If it is not USB 3.0, I do not recommend such an expensive product, as any cheap external hard drive would work just as well, for a fraction of the cost. If you do have USB 3.0, then this little drive will likely be faster than the internal mechanical drive in your MacBook Pro. I am not sure whether this old a MacBook supports USB 3.0 UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol). If it does not, you would still get reasonable speed, but not the advertised 500 MB/Second.

Is this G-drive bootable so I can bring my own OSX and travel between Mac's on different locations- and countries?
- Asked by Kåre Skak P from Fjenneslev
- on 12/12/2017
Answer
It is bootable, but booting up different Macs with the same disk image will likely cause problems. It is bootable, but booting up different Macs with the same disk image will likely cause problems. If you wanted to put just your data files on the external drive, you could create OSX sym-links from your home directory, on all the systems, such that they point to the external drive. The systems would all still boot with the internal drive, but all of your important files would be in a singular location. For Example: /Users/me/ Documents -> /Volumes/GDrive/Documents/ Pictures -> /Volumes/GDrive/Pictures/ Music -> /Volumes/GDrive/Music/ ... etc....
