Glyph BlackBox Plus (2TB)

Meanwhile, every other drive I ever bought works. Avoid these garbage devices and their entire company like the plague. They didnt change their company name from Glyph to G-Tech because they had a good brand reputation, Ill tell you that. Ive lost mulitple drives worth of info from these pieces of crap.

Great build on it. It seems sturdy and fast for on-site transfers

Ive owned this Glyph only for three months but it has been plugged in and unplugged dozens of times, was carted across the globe, loaded and unloaded with data and has not skipped a beat. The USB 3.1, gen 2 is great. The case looks protective and seems to do the job.

So far it works really well! My WD hard drive failed and this one has been a lifesaver. I highly recommend Glyph drives in general since i also have their 3 tb Glyph studio and both have been awesome! Even though I accidentally force eject them sometimes it seems like it has no effect on them at all. Super reliable and dope

Bought this almost a year ago, and just had the unfortunate heart-stopping crash on my MacBook Pro hard drive, where I had to erase everything to factory settings. I was able to effectively restore all of my data from this device, since I’d been using time machine backup with it. Highly recommend for peace of mind!

Super disappointed in this drive. Worked great for about 7 months. I use a *lot* of portable drives for recording/content capture, and have had experience with a great number of rugged, drives over the years. I expected this one to be relatively bombproof: reliable for transporting in a bag and using on the go. ...But it didnt even survive being placed gently on a desktop, used for an hour, and then placed gently back into a cabinet for seven months. Id avoid this one at all costs.

easy to use

I am a huge Glyph fan and have two old rack HDDs from back in the day for my studio. I bought this 4TB unit simply for time machine backups and it has worked flawlessly. That being said many of the features like SMART monitoring are not really available as advertised. Also there tech support is awful. Take forever to reply and don’t even answer my questions. If this were being used as a primary work drive I might’ve returned it, but since it’s for backup I’m not gonna bother.

Bought two to mirror for travelling jobs. High speed and work as daily users for jobs on the go. Recommended.

Good
