💾 High-Performance Glyph BlackBox Plus (4TB): Amplify Your Storage Capacity Review

I've only owned this Glyph for three months but it's been plugged and unplugged dozens of times, taken around the world, loaded and unloaded with data and never missed a beat . USB 3.1 Gen 2 is great. The case looks protective and seems to do the job.

This is the second Glyph I have purchased and my decision is based on my experience with the first. A year later, the first glyph works great. The second is for file transfer. That's good value for money, but you'd expect storage to get cheaper over time.

I like the solid construction. Only time will tell if he survives. A few months and it seems fine. My last high capacity portable drive (from another manufacturer) once fell 3 feet into a cork floor and shattered.

I've read that it's not a hard drive issue, it's how Macs work.

Unfortunately it was out of service shortly after the return deadline. I didn't encrypt or password protect it, so I didn't want to send it back to Glyph to share for privacy reasons. So I would 1) advise against buying this and 2) add protection to what you end up buying so that you can feel…

It looks like a really well built device. However, I couldn't use it. As I was using this for a Windows computer I went to the website for reformatting instructions as directed. There are no such instructions on the Glyph website. I googled the instructions and found something claiming to be from a Glyph engineer (who, by the way, initially apologized for the lack of instructions on their website). This isn't the first time I've had to reformat a hard drive for Windows, although it's been a…
