This hard is a great solid device and very rugged.

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.

I was looking forward to a fairly portable 8TB drive and it works. It does have a bit of noise, which maybe knocks it from 5 to 4 starts, but plugs right into to new Macbook Pro 2016, and works very well.

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 just purchased a second Glyph Blackbox Pro after seeing good results from my first one. The enclosure is solid and heavy. Seems very rugged. The noise level is the quietest I have experienced in a 7200 rpm external drive available from B&H for this price point. My only complaint is that the power supply and usb cables are too short and do not offer many options for location other than close to the computer and power source.

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.

I paid a hundred dollars more for this device just 3 months ago. The device is not a premium device. Customer service is rude when you ask for assistance. They request you send them the answers to 9 technical questions. They request a receipt and other information about the purchase so make sure you have a receipt. I understand this if I needed a repair or replacement but to get any support at all? Nah. So, the device worked very well for about two months. Then it started to be very slow at around 25% capacity. It will never transfer more than 40 Mbs over 3.1 gen 2 and that’s its fastest bus speed. It would have been a better purchase to just buy the equivalent in ssds. If you just need storage there are cheaper solutions with the same reliability. I was stoked it was made in the US. Now I’m disappointed.

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.

I immediately transferred 7 TB to the drive and things are working very smoothly. Good integration with my Adobe apps. Happy so far!

High capacity external hard drive. Quick transfer of data + very quiet. Excellent rubber padding makes it a bit more bulky, but so much more secure, especially when traveling. Would certainly recommend to a friend.

I’m using this on a mac for external storage, not time machine. I connected it and had no problems copying data onto it. I do not hear it at all and it is just warm to touch, not hot.

I have this drive a couple of weeks and so far it has been very fast. I really like the rubber around it to protect it. Its quite a sleek design. Happy with it.

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.

Once I had it running, it was fast and quiet. It is tedious to format for a pc. You have to be certain to locate the Glyph or you might wipe another drive.

These drives are great. We had to switch from another vendor and these work so well. Thank You Glyph Technologies and B&H.

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

I like glyphs. So far they like me.

I use this as an expansion drive on my workstation for video editing. Works great. I have it connected via the included USB-C to USB 3.0 cable. When I initially connected it to a USB 3.0 port on the PC the write speed was very slow, only 40 MB/s. Connecting it via a USB 3.0 powered hub brought the write speed up to the expected 240 MB/s.

I loved the idea of these! I edit film, and these are great backups. However, if you are looking to edit off of these, do not purchase. It disconnects consistently, and I can’t get through a project for 10 minutes without the data being lost.
