Glyph BlackBox Plus (2TB)

work great , really fast , slightly heavy

DO NOT BUY! I REPEAT, DO NOT BUY! I bought the 2TB Glyph blackbox plus from this seller and they sent me one that was broken. When I would insert it into my Mac or PC, they were unable to read it. They did refund me my money but it was frustrating trying to get it to work when i received it but then finding out that it had a defect. I had contacted Glyph support and told them that the blackbox plus would not stop making a beeping sound when plugged into the computer. They told me that the blackbox was defective and to return it to the seller. Also just as a side note, if you do decide on buying the blackbox plus, try the 1TB because its considerably faster than the 2TB model.

Yasssss :)

super well built with great cords and connections

Extremely fast and reliable! I will be sticking with Glyph from now on!!

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.

NOT COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS 10. The Amazon page says compatible with Windows XP and above. That is NOT accurate. After receiving the hard drive, I found out that I needed to format the BlackBox Plus for Windows. No instructions for Windows 10, not even on their website. It is NOT compatible with Windows 10. I took a chance and plugged it in.The computer never recognized it. Cant format a drive that the computer doesnt even see. I then searched the internet. Other Windows 10 operators had posted the question too. No answers. On the Glyphtech website, I found a users manual for the Black Box (not the PLUS). It was dated December 2013. The BlackBox Plus does not have a users manual, only an info sheet. No instructions on Windows 10 there either. I emailed the company. I got an initial canned response along with a link to frequently asked questions. Well, it is a Saturday. Perhaps Ill hear from them on Monday. That will be too late. Ive already printed the return label and boxed it up. In closing, if the visible quality of this product is this bad I certainly wouldnt spend good money on it. However, I did and now I regret it. Buyer beware.

USB-C with a 5400 RPM platter is just absolutely useless.
