We have grown accustomed to having fast solid-state drives inside our Macs but even though SSDs have become more affordble, they are still far costlier per gigabyte than traditional spinning hard drives. Anyone needing very capacious and reasonably quick external storage would do well to consider SanDisk's G-Drive, which connects to your Mac using the bundled USB-C or USB-A cables. Like most larger spinning drives it requires wall power via the supplied adapter but one benefit of this is that the drive can supply 45W of Power Delivery when connected to your Mac over USB-C. This is enough to charge even the largest MacBook Pro, albeit slowly, or keep one topped up. And for smaller laptops charging will be quicker.
