[10.525 lb] Loving my new external hard drive. It's so much faster than my previous one. Solid piece of equipment that I hope will last for years to come. 5

Adam	28/07/2024
[10.525 lb] We run multiple units on set for backups, no issues and they've been very reliable. 5

Alison	24/07/2024
[550 MB/s ] 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

[10.525 lb] 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

[48 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

[550 MB/s ] 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

Frank	17/04/2024
[macOS] 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
