Glyph BlackBox Pro External Hard Drive 7200 RPM, USB-C (3.1,Gen2) (16TB)

Love these drives. They look great and very reliable. If you are looking for a quiet or cool drive, then look elsewhere. These drives run hot and are fast, which makes them perfect for video production. They are also stackable.Yes they are quite noisy, but if you’re simply looking for a solid, fast and reliable hard drive and don’t care about noise or heat, this drive is perfect for you.

Easy to setup, solid construct - now been using for a few years and still going strong. I have it running 24hrs 5 days a week.

The hard drive worked just fine but only for about 10 months, then the spinning disk stopped and even thought it was still within warranty the Data couldn't be recovered after I sent it back to the manufactures. They apologized and could only send me a new one but what good is it if there is no peace of mind with the drive.

The media could not be loaded. The Glyph BlackBox Pro External Hard Drive 7200 RPM, USB-C (3.1,Gen2) (20TB) is very fast at writing video files from a SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD drive. I do Astrophotography and I have almost 4 TB's of Solar videos I need to transfer from my SanDisk Extreme Pro 4TB SSD Drive to the Glyph. As shown in the video the average write speed is around 255-260 MB's a second. In the "About this Item" area on Amazon's webpage for this device it says: "Up to 250 MB/s Transfer Speed". This is a USB 3.0 connection and I haven't tested it yet on a USB 3.1SS connection but I'm sure it will be faster than this. Anyway, I just wanted to leave this review because I was very impressed with the write speed of the Glyph BlackBox Pro External Hard Drive 7200 RPM, USB-C (3.1,Gen2) (20TB). So far, I highly recommend it.I hope this helps.Sincerely, Rich WilliamsAstor, Florida 32102 USA!

I returned two less expensive (Seagate) products because they were formatted for Windows and I saw no reason to hassle with Mac drivers. I was looking for an external hard disk to use as a Time Machine. It worked right out of the box. The only minor downside is that it's a bit noisy in my mostly SSD environment. Bottom line- if you are shopping for a iMac/Mac backup you'll be pleased.

What can I say the disk does exactly what they say ... on my MAC Book Pro the experience was plug and play ... it is going all of the time and the unit is quiet'

Fast as hell. I'm using with an Alienware 13 that has a Thunderbolt 3 port, and although it was a bit of a pain to set it up for Windows 10, the support staff were superb in getting me the right information. Their web site proved useless for this. Note that it comes formatted for Apple, so this is not plug-and-play for Windows. It does come with both USB C to C cables, and USB C to A. It does not seem to run particularly hot, and It also does come with a wall wart power power supply. It is not USB powered. To give some idea of the speed, it used to take almost an hour on my Windows 7 computer with a WD My Book 1TB hard drive to back up my Documents folder. With the BlackBox Pro and my Windows 10 computer, the same thing took no more than 15 minutes.

Been a great hard drive. Had it for exactly one year now. It's fast and has been reliable. Getting read/write speeds as advertised or better. It's powered and has a fan so there is a noticeable whiiir to it, but it's not terrible. It has a "G" icon on the usb hub which is surprisingly useful for quickly finding the right port in a hub.

glyph ist eine hausmarke. leistung, qualitaet und zuverlaessigkeit ungeschlagen. erste wahl bei ssd und hdd extern fuer mich. auch wenn 1 euro teurer, sind alle produkte von glyph jeden cent wert.

Every year, I buy a new one. And every year, I am satisfied.
