The four independent 7200-rpm drives working together give the G-Drive Pro with Thunderbolt a nice boost in speed, while still providing a healthy 4TB capacity. Two Thunderbolt ports allow you to daisy-chain connections. You can’t even change the RAID configuration to a mirrored or JBOD setup. The G-Drive Pro goes in a different direction: opening the enclosure voids your warranty, and you need both a Philips-head and T8 security torx driver to replace the drives.
