    Purchased as a scratch disk for my Final Cut Pro X (FCPX) Events and Projects - Does the Job
    I'm using this G-Drive 6TB (7200rpm) external drive to manage about 3TB of existing Final Cut Pro X (FCPX) material and for all new video material. I'm an FCPX "hobbyist" not a "professional" so I wasn't prepared to spend significantly more for a faster Thunderbolt drive to use with my new iMac (2017). My previous drives were also G-Drives, but they were FW800 drives (3TB & 2TB) and would have required two separate adapters to connect to the Thunderbolt 3 port on the new iMac.RESULTS: All my footage is shot in 1080i and I haven't experience any noticeable lag in FCPX using the USB 3.0 connected G-Drive to my iMac.I've attached a screenshot of the Blackmagic Disk Speed Test (free App from the Apple Store) that I used to stress test the G-Drive. This free app is an easy-to-use tool to quickly measure and certify disk performance when working with high quality video. I'm please with the results for my G-Drive based on MY use. Based on the test results, there should be no "speed" issues with the G-Drive for the type of video I work with in FCPX.Setup:iMac 27" Retina 4.2 GHz Intel Core i7 (2017)1TB SSD24GB MemoryG-Technology G-Drive 6TB USB 3.0
