Update 10/19: my second unit arrived. After unpacking and letting it acclimate to room temperature I set it up as my second time machine drive. Everything works as expected with zero issues. Both drives function perfectly, aren’t noisy, and just run smoothly in the background. If that changes, I’ll update accordingly.
After googling and asking around, I did different things: reboot, Disk Utilities, check cables and connections, etc. nothing...nada. I had to spring for tech advice which was costly and installed a piece of software that was able to scan the 4T...took like a day and a half to do that. Now I need another space tank to put what I've recovered into. After spending almost $200, I was hoping this baby was going to be the last one...but not to be. I did quite a bit of research and did not want to go with Toshiba or WD or even (shudder) Seagate...not sure what to do. I'm back at square one again since I can't return it and it's out of warranty. Wish I could get my money back. :(
UPDATE: 8/2/2019. I solved the issue by reformating the HD and now it works like a charm. However it is a bit picky when it comes to ejecting it, you have to wait. Otherewise a good piece.
I had my eye on this particular external hard drive for a while and I needed one quick because I do audio/music production, I was afraid that my computer was going to slow down due to the fact that I had a lot of audio plugin software that uses an enormous amount of power. In spite of the fact that I still had a LOT of storage left on my computer, I wanted to save it some power to have a smoother and faster workflow.
I chose the G-Technology external hard drive because it looks very attractive and, as of now, I haven't had any problems with it so far after one week of usage. It works great and everything seems to be working according to the plan. Hopefully, it'll stay this way for as long as possible. I do vocal recording, audio engineering and music production on the same computer as my workflow has gotten even better because of the external hard drive. I love it!

It was very important for me to find a unit that has a dedicated power on/off button so that I can ensure it is not running when not needed. Overall, the G-drive performs better than I expected. It works really fast with my Mac and I am very satisfied with this product. The only mild annoyance is the flashing white logo on the front, which at first I thought looked really cool, but at night, when I am trying to sleep it can get annoying. So I simply put a black sticker over it - solved!
