Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. I currently own a 12 TB Glyph Drive 7200 --how much faster would this SSD be compared to the one I own?

A: That would depend on the specific model of 12 TB 7200rpm Glyph Drive that you have, but on average, the Glyph Technologies 8TB Blackbox Plus USB 3.1 Type-C External Solid-State Drive should transfer data about twice as fast as a 7200rpm HDD.

Q: 2. What real world transfer speeds will this drive achieve?

A: Drive speed will vary on multiple factors and can vary under use conditions.

Q: 3. I'm working off a Macbook Pro that only has Thunderbolt 2. With an Apple Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 dongle will this still work and will my transfer speeds be closer to 450 MB/s?

A: Yes, this would work using the thunderbolt 2 to 3 adapter. At the suggested speed of 450 MB/s.

Q: 4. What kind of sustained write speed can this drive support?

A: The Glyph Technologies 1TB Blackbox Plus USB 3.1 Type-C External Solid-State Drive will have a sustained write speed of anywhere from 375 to 450MB/s, with the variance depending on the host systems on specs and the type of data that is being transferred.

Q: 5. Will Glyph Technologies work on a Windows 10 system?

A: The Glyph Technologies 16TB Blackbox Plus USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 External SSD comes preformatted for macOS; however, it can be reformatted for Windows 10 compatibility as long as the host PC has Thunderbolt connectivity.

Q: 6. It says thunderbolt 3 in the description but doesnt seem to have a port?

A: Thunderbolt 3 has the same connector as USB Type C. But, speed wise, the Glymph is limited only to USB C Gen 2 speed.

Q: 7. Does it have password protection to access data on the drive?

A: The manufacture doesn't state this drive supports encryption to add a password protection. If you would like an alternative option, I can recommend you, BH #SAMUPA2T0BAM. This model offers password protection.

Q: 8. Will the 8TB Atom EV External SSD work with the Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini Extreme ISO? Although the Atom 4TB drive is on BMD's approved list, the 8TB one isn't, and I'm loathe to spend $1800 only to find it won't work.

A: Depending on the USB cable (and the length thereof), the disk format you're using, and the internals in your specific copy of this drive, you may indeed find that your specific Glyph Technologies 8TB Atom EV USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C External SSD (B&H# GLA8000EV) will work with the Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini Extreme ISO (B&H# BLATEMMEI). However, especially if you record multiple video feeds then chances of compatibility will be less. For those reasons, and because the manufacturer does not recommend this option at this time, we cannot recommend this specific drive for the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO. However, you are welcome to try it to see if your copy works with your USB cable and to take advantage of our 30 day return policy: https://bhpho.to/3aPhgX2

Q: 9. If connected to Thunderbolt 4, would the transfer speed improve?

A: The transfer speeds of a USB drive such as the Glyph Technologies 8TB Blackbox Plus USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 External SSD will not improve when connecting them to a higher-bandwidth port such as Thunderbolt 4. You could think of it as connecting a narrow hose to a wide hose; the amount of water coming out of the narrow hose will be the same, regardless of what it is going into.

Q: 10. How is drive powered?

A: Just over the USB-C cable
