Does anyone use a G Drive as their accessory hard drive?

I got a terabyte G Drive for my Mac. I was just going to get either a lacie, seagate or western dig at the local Mac Store, but 2 separate Mac associates to skip those drives and go outside to get a G Drive. It's 20% more expensive, but it seems to work just fine. Anyone else have any thoughts?

I had a G Drive for a while... it stopped working after about 6 months. I know have a Lacie, and it's been running great for over a year.

Apple does not make their own drives, I just opened up a couple of our old Macs here at work, one has a Maxstor, the other a seagate. IMO, save the bucks and go with either the seagate or WD.
