Replacement & recovery External Drive
I have been a Glyph fan for over 10 years. when my drive ceased working I immediately reached out to tech support and they hooked me up with a new drive and successfully transferred all my data. I'm up and running again, another satisfied customer! Thank you Thank you Glyph techs!

Good Harddrive for creatives
Have I have a previous Gylph Studio hard drive. The quality has been good and so it made sense to go with a brand I know I can trust!!

External for studios
Built to last great materials, quality excellent quiet.

Reliable, quiet, professional
I bought two of these to use use as a JBOD pair with one backing up the other using Data Backup software. I own two 4TB Glyph Studio and they have worked well for me for two years and counting. These two 6TB disks bring my total to four. They are whisper quiet with a well-implemented smart fan. With the auto power enabled they sleep and wake from sleep as needed. I like that the power supply is enclosed in the sturdy aluminum case and I have just the one standard power cord to worry about. I like that they have a power on/off switch. And I like that the two 6TB I just bought come with Toshiba MD04ACA with 1,400,000 MTBF quality hard drives. You can get cheaper drives that are noisier and will fail sooner, but why would you want to? They are overall solid, professional and in my experience completely reliable. I have owned dual RAID drives and, in addition to inevitable drive failures over the years, have had faulty electronics for the connection (USB, Firewire) take out BOTH internal hard drives. I prefer that each drive I own has its own USB/Firewire/esata/Thunderbolt (whatever you use) connection electronics, so if one fails it won't take out another drive paired with it. I highly recommend these Glyph Studio drives.

Creative industry best!!
This is my third glyph drive. I have not been disappointed with any of my purchases. These drives stand of the the test of heavy audio sessions well. no worries about them crashing and and burning without a warning. I highly recommend!!
