The USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 connection can transfer up to 10 Gb/s with compatible devices and is designed to work with Thunderbolt 3 and USB 3.0 systems using the included cables.

This desktop drive system includes two enterprise class 7200 rpm, 3.5" 12TB drives with data transfer speeds of up to 550 MB/s.

With hardware-based RAID 0, 1, JBOD, and SPAN support, you can configure your Blackbox PRO RAID system without having to deal with finicky software solutions. Use the convenient switches to configure the system for RAID 0 to maximize speed and usable capacity or RAID 1 for data redundancy.

A: As long as the total amount of data can fit on the OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual 36TB 2-Bay USB 3.2 Gen 2 RAID Array with 3-Port Hub (2 x 18TB), you can use it to backup the data from a NAS.

Q: 3. with only one C port, can this be daisy chained with a G Drive array with an adapter?

A: No, unfortunately the Glyph Technologies 32TB Blackbox PRO RAID 2-Bay RAID Array (2 x 16TB, USB-C 3.2 Gen 2) would require Thunderbolt for this to be possible.

Q: 4. Is the 24 TB Glyph raid drive as quiet as the now discontinued G-Raid 24 TB raid drives? Large or small difference?

A: The Glyph Technologies 24TB Blackbox PRO RAID 2-Bay RAID Array (2 x 12TB, USB-C 3.2 Gen 2) BH #GLBBPR24KRD uses 7,200 RPM HDDs. It will make some noise associated with the spinning hardware.

Q: 8. I am looking for an external storage solution (just like this item) that i can plug into both my windows pc and mac laptop via usb, and just access the unit as a storage drive. Am looking to use it regularly to store my photography library (store all the photos and use adobe softwares using pictures that are on the external unit). Is this the best unit for this, or is a different unit recommended?

A: Ari,I can only speak to this unit. The Qx2 can be moved between platforms if properly configured, but you cannot have them plugged in simultaneously.

A: This drive comes preformatted for Mac.

Q: 10. I need a Hdrive for editing a doc project. Can this system, in RAID 0, handle editing in Davinci Resove?

[10.63 lb] It is Better than internal SSD in my MacBook Pro (Mid 2012). It may give the best solution for storage your music. 5

[10.63 lb] an absolute power house for larger and longer jobs. this rad is a tank and insanely fast especially with the new cards and resolutions and information coming out on cameras. downloads an alexa s35 card full in 20 minutes. 5

[550 MB/s ] I call my new drive my Big Black Box and it's build like a tank. Loaded over 35T of data via time machine in just 2-3 days which is much faster that other drives I've used. Only had it about 10 days but so far, so good!! Happy the B&H tech (forgot his hand- my bad) suggested this vs the G-raid. 5

[Aluminum] This is my 3rd glyph pro RAID. I love the drives and the company. This unit is quiet and plenty fast for my needs. Would not hesitate to recommend. 5

Edgar	04/07/2024
[24 TB] Upgraded from their 16TB RAID box. This is my third RAID system from Glyph. Their quality standards and customer service are second to none. Excellent products. 5

Frank	01/07/2024
[24 TB] I think this is a fine drive. It's fast, quiet and runs cool. I've been using it for a week so far putting it through the demands and have had no issues. Their warranties seem to be terrific. Hopefully one doesn't need to use it, but the fact that they can overnight a drive to you if yours goes down is a big plus. 5

Adam	21/06/2024
[Aluminum] We run multiple units on set for backups, no issues and they've been very reliable. 5

Megan	14/06/2024
[24 TB] Reliable and does its job. A little pricey but what do you expect for a professional purchase. 5

Alison	26/04/2024
[10.63 lb] I do photography which takes up a lot of room. I had 6 external drives totaling 12T. This drive replaced all of them as well as doing an automatic backup. I was also able to eliminate one docking station and 2 USB extenders. My office is so much neater. Well worth the price. One thing to note - check your power settings to have this drive on all the time as it takes a bit to come up after being powered down. 5
