### Answer by Hitesh Vohra

- The **G-DRIVE** [**Mobile**](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/96188/how-do-i-fix-microsoft-word-without-legal-size) SSD is a tough portable SSD with capacities up to 2TB that delivers consistent performance. This drive is tough on the inside and out, with a protective metal core that prevents overheating and maintains performance, as well as SSD technology for extra shock and vibration resistance. This drive is also water/dust resistant to IP67, crush resistant to 1000 lbs, and has a 3-meter drop protection.
- The G-DRIVE Mobile SSD was able to achieve **read speeds of 507.8 MB/s and write speeds of 450.2 MB/s.**
- We next moved on to IOMeter and did a single thread test. The G-DRIVE Mobile SSD reads at 491 MB/s and writes at 443 MB/s when working with 2MB sequential data. We saw 404 MB/s read and 447 MB/s write at 2MB random speeds. The G-DRIVE Mobile SSD achieved 5897 IOPS read and 11,983 IOPS write in random 4K**.**
