I use these for my immediate backups at the studio, then offload to slower, cheaper 8TB drives. The 7200 provides a good speed for a spinning drive.

Performing as expected one week in. This was just a stop-gap until I can get my hands on a multi-drive RAID or NAS system, but great performance and capacity for the money. Crazy rugged seeming too.
Imani Olson (verified owner) –
It is alleged that this hard drive is very quiet except for the sound of the disc spinning. NOT TRUE. There is a very distinct and very audible clickety-clack even when the drive is sitting in idle. When the drive is being written to, those clicking sounds are constant and totally aggravating. The Rocstor products blow this one out of the water. Which is too bad, because it has a very nice appearance and seems solidly constructed.

This is my first 7200rpm drive, and all I can say is that it is FAST! I use it to hold my Final Cut Pro X libraries and I have absolutely no noticeable performance differences than keeping my media on my boot drive. It is noisier (not terribly so, but you will definitely notice it and I wouldn’t recommend it if you were planning on doing any audio recording in the same room) than my portable Western Digital Elements drives, and it does need to be plugged into an AC outlet. But even for those two little things, it is well worth the purchase.

It was the best thing I bought all summer . It works great . Who could beat the price . The service at B & H was excellent ! It was quick and painless..

Have a number of these and they’re always reliable and high-performance. They’re my go-to for critical back up as well as drives to work from.
Tad Hackett (verified owner) –
Been using this and bought one for my mom for her to back up her life. I love how fast it is and for the price, it’s really incredible I got it on sale, too, so if you see it on sale, get it, it’s a no-brainer.

I have 4 Glyph drives, they are great. I just got this one last night and copy my data to it. This particular drive, differently than the other ones I have by Glyph, is making a lot of noise and I am afraid it won’t last. There’s definitely smt wrong with it.

Thanks again for all the great service and pricing! You guys are awesome!
Ally Price (verified owner) –
I have RAID systems and have used other backup drives, this is the quietest, fastest waking-up external drive I’ve used. Highly recommended.
Carter Buckridge (verified owner) –
lots of data I had in them that I lost
Makayla Stracke (verified owner) –
Unreliable. I tried both their supplied USB 3 cables and a couple of my own that I know work. I also tried different USB input ports on the 27″ 5K iMac with macOS Monterey that I know work. Mounting was intermittent and now it’s crickets.

The Glyph 4TB Blackbox Pro has been instrumental in helping me seamlessly run the sample for all of my VST’s in protools and Abelton. I’m going to purchase another one real soon. You should too!!!! Thanks B&H!!!!!!!!!

I like glyphs. So far they like me.
Abagail Schmeler (verified owner) –
This is my largest and fastest external drive. Time will tell how long it will last. It lost one star because the formatting process for pcs is too easy to make a mistake (I did) and I had reinstall data to my internal storage drive which was inadvertently formatted and it was a time consuming process.
Maria Herman (verified owner) –
These drives are great. We had to switch from another vendor and these work so well. Thank You Glyph Technologies and B&H.

When I turned on the drive and started uploading photo files I noticed it was making a noise. I called the Glyph technical support and they told me they are not buying the drives from the same vender because of the noise issue. They also told me there isn’t anything wrong with the noisy drives, but is the noise I’m hearing a normal noise or the drive failing? They are replacing my drive, but I had to pay to ship then noisy drive to them.

I like the sturdability of the drive. I have purchased several over the years. It’s convenient for backup ang storing files and video.
Leland Boyle (verified owner) –
Having a backup drive provides peace-of-mind. Backups are fast. I love the rubber-tread armor over the metal case. It’s heavier than expected and I think it’s well-built.

I think I found a hard Drive that works with my apple computer without buying extra cables. I’ll go and take some pictures and see if I can export and import than edit without it degrading the photo. So far it looks great.
