Product works as advertised

This product has never worked. After sending several emails back and forth, it was found that he had a bad port. To send it back for warranty work I had to sign a lost product waiver from Fedex or UPS as they don't sign on delivery. The problem is that if they had properly tested their product as advertised, I wouldn't need to return it. Also, I already registered the product online but had to resubmit all the information as they have a faulty system. What if I have new problems in the future?

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Contact seller

Well built drive with great performance

I started using Glyph external hard drives when I was studying audio engineering. They have always been dependable and dependable and productive for me. This new Glyph BlackBox Pro 10TB is no different in that regard. It's been buzzing like an absolute champ since I bought it as I use it for both audio editing and storing my photo catalogue. The drive itself feels very solid, and the rubber boot that surrounds it offers extra protection from minor bumps. I can't talk about drop testing becauseโ€ฆ

Excellent fast external hard drive

Damn fast. I'm using an Alienware 13 with a Thunderbolt 3 port, and while it was a bit difficult to set it up for Windows 10, the support staff were great at getting me the information I needed. Their website turned out to be unusable for this. Please note that it is formatted for Apple, so not plug and play for Windows. It comes with USB-CC and USB-CA cables. It doesn't seem to get very hot, and it also comes with a wall-mounted power adapter. It is not powered by USB. To give you an idea ofโ€ฆ

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • Fading away

6TB desktop hard drive that works

Choose the 6TB version for use on set during production. We have used this on 2 shoots and it works as advertised and is everything you could ask for. It's a big drive, a bit smaller than GDrive I think. It is powered by an external source. It's quiet as it's uploading 5TB of footage right next to me. The transmission speed is as advertised. I really like their 3-2-1 guarantee, we retire most drives after a year and knowing that they will quickly replace a new drive this year if we need one isโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Has flaws

Reliability issues but excellent write speeds

This drive is 7x faster than my previous external backup drive. The actual transfer rate is around 210 MB. I've noticed complaints about this drive being formatted for Apple, but while it's a bit odd, it didn't cause much inconvenience. It also has a power button which my old drive didn't have. My 2TB incremental backup takes less than a minute and a full backup takes less than an hour. Unfortunately, the drive temporarily disconnected from my computer and I had to replace it.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Upgradeable

THIS HARD DRIVE WILL NOT WORK WITH WINDOWS 10

I bought this hard drive as a backup for my PC (running Win 10). I've searched the web, youtube, product website for help with the drive not being recognized no matter what etc. The only information I found came directly from the Glyph website and it said: We were able to reproduce Fix Glyph Manager crash when changing drive mode on Windows 7 64-bit We found Glyph Manager to work correctly on Windows 32-bit. While there is currently an issue with the Glyph Manager driver when using Firewire onโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly crumpled
