AI Recommendation
1 suggestionG-Technology Assistant is a storage device management utility from Hitachi Global Storage Technologies (HGST), which is now part of Western Digital. We could not find evidence of an active native Apple Silicon build or recent development activity for this application. Given that it is a device management tool, the best approach is to contact Western Digital directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon version exists or is planned. If Western Digital has discontinued this product, check whether your G-Technology drives work directly with Western Digital's own storage management tools (DriveTriage, WD Backup, or DriveSmart), which are more likely to be actively maintained. If you rely on G-Technology Assistant for device management and cannot confirm a native build exists, you may want to begin exploring alternative storage health and management tools as a contingency, since an Intel-only app will stop launching entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028).
