Great drives that are well built in the US. Fast enough and reliable. Very satisfied. I’ve got four going for media backups.

I have used the 12TB versions now for a year or so with no issues. Ignoring the bad reviews of the larger drives I went ahead & purchased a couple of 14TG drives – both were bad and behaved exactly as the other reviewers describe. Mounts OK and then repeatedly shuts down after a few mins – while in the middle of saving video files. Looks as if Glyph has manufactured a really bad batch of hard drives – so buyer beware until they get this sorted out. Returned to BH for a refund (thanks).

Have a G Tech for my new iMac and needed to back it up due to the fact that the external is my primary hard drive for my computer. I needed to back up my main external and purchased this one. Connected the USB C to my iMac and wow. Copied and downloaded the files on my existing external and it was super fast. Might get a 2tb to back up the 4 and store it away from home just to be safe. Also love the BandH shipping. Ordered it on Wednesday and was at my door on Thursday.

Always satisfied with this company. Even the packing is great for travel. I passed this off to my editor who took it to Florida. Shipped it back and when it arrived it had a lose part rattling around from the return shipping. Plugged it in and the drive worked perfectly. Ver good purchase for a tricky job. Only brand I want.

we’ve been performing checks on two of these and so far they have worked flawlessly. It comes pre-formatted for MAC so it works out of the box with time machine, Xcode, iOS backups, etc. Users can reformat part or all of it for Windows to be used for both Oss. I’m getting real world speeds around 190 MB/s read, 140 MB/s write

Love this drive. Use it for photo editing in lightroom and photoshop, and so far it’s been quick, responsive, and solid. The 7200 rpm keeps the flow going, although I have to use the USB 3.0 connector as my Mac doesn’t have type-c … would love/wish to have that capability! Will be sticking with these for a while, plus their warranty is amazing.

I can say that this is a really good external desktop drive, transfers are really fast. The drive is so high quality rugged. Truly recommended

I have an 18TB @ 7200RPM that I bought here @ B&H last year. Flawless : this is my 2nd Glyph which the 1st is the 8TB @ 7200RPM from 6-8 yrs ago ~ No Complaints what-so-ever! Professional DJ since 1983 I know my Hard_Drives ~ I have 16 externals running on my MacOS I only use the Best from LaCie – Glyph – G.Tech – W.D. & believe it or not 2 older SeaGate’s over 15 years old. I’m in the process of buying another, cause my 18 is almost full.

I bought a few of these as backup drives. I think i bought four of them total. They have all failed – I have never encountered this problem in my life. they failed a month after purchase, when the box was already gone. The remaining one i had ejected constantly and now as of this week says it’s not working. lol. Tons of wasted money. Truly the worst BH purchase ive ever made

On the third day after installing this HD I noticed the HD was making slight buzzing/humming sound. When I place my hand on the HD I can feel a slight vibration. This is not the normal clicking and clacking sounds HD make. I have an older Glyph Blackbox Pro 4TB Enterprise HD and it does not make any buzzing/humming sounds nor does it vibrate. In the four days I have been using this HD I have not experienced any read/write errors. However, I am concerned about the long term reliability of this HD.

Great drive, speed, and usefulness. It’s quite a bit bigger than I had expected, but aside from that, working great!

I paid more than 300 dollars in 2018 and used it infrequently for a little over a year, and suddenly, it dead on me for no reason. While it was alive, the performance was quite good. But now I am debating whether I should pay for the recovery of many hours of my work on the dead disk.

Huge amount of space for not much $$$. Looks good and is MUCH quieter than the drive it replaces. Transfer speeds are as advertised. Ask me in a year or three… that will be the real test.

Shuts down constantly. Unable to get data copied coming or going without restarts. Not going to purchase any more enterprise drives,

This 8TB Blackbox is an addition to two others I already own. One functions as a master drive and the others as backups. All are connected directly to my iMac via USB-C (Thunderbolt 3). Ive found them to be fast, allowing me to access data quickly with only the slightest pause as compared to accessing data directly from my iMacs SSD internal drive. And backups written to them appear to happen quickly as well. Note that I have only used them for less than a year, but they seem to be holding up quite well. The black silicone case protection keeps any residual platter vibration that may ripple through my physical desktop where they live to a minimum. The black silicone also provides convenient notches on the top to accept the feet of another stacked above it, keeping them all in a neat stacked line.

It was a little hard to set up on a Windows computer but once it is formatted it works like a charm. I like the fact that it is an American company. I use Beyond Compare to back up my files. I do not like auto backups. This way I only backup new files and can choose which ones.

I bought this 12TB to consolidate 3 4TB G-Drives. I use with my Mac Pro, which is USB 3.0 and the included adapter cable works great, I also use with the USB-C cable occasionally with my MacBook Pro. Basically, for the price, the warranty for hardware and data recovery, it’s a winner. Some people complained of noise, the drive vibrates occasionally, but you just need to nudge it slightly, not a big deal. The only feature I wish had was a RAID option, but I back it up to cloud, so I can live without it. I highly recommend it!
