This is a major improvement over the Pegasus2.
I also noted that the G-Speed never appeared to dismount from the host computer. This means when you come back from a break, there's no need to wait before resuming your work. In my testing it woke up from sleep mode almost instantaneously (in contrast, the Pegasus2 took up to 20 seconds). Like the Pegasus2, the G-Speed shares power status with the host computer. While this is convenient, it's also not secure, since there's no option to lock the drive bay or the drives themselves into their slots. All I needed to do was open the top lid (which pops up when you press on it), and I could easily pull the drives out.
It's very easy to replace the hard drives themselves - in fact, it was a little too easy in my trial. When you buy the G-Speed, it'll be populated with four enterprise-grade Hitachi hard drives of 3TB, 4TB or 6TB, but you can also use your own drives. There are four hard-drive slots and each can host a standard SATA 3.5-inch (desktop) internal hard drive. This top side also opens up to reveal the interior hard drives. The device is quite light, however, thanks to its plastic body, although the top portion is made of metal.

It now mimics the all-black tabletop cylinder design of the new Mac Pro, while being significantly larger. The G-Speed Studio has a completely new design compared to previous storage devices from G-Tech, such as the G-RAID with Thunderbolt. The G-Tech G-Speed Studio R Thunderbolt 2 hosts four internal hard drives that can be set up in a few RAID options.
