Glyph BlackBox Plus (2TB)

Arrived a day late, Amazon Prime next day per Amazon. 1T USB 3.1 Gen 2. 7200 rpm. For MAC. arrived in good condition and worked out of the box. Checked specs and as advertised.

Fast!

I know there are a lot of compact drives available, but Ive settled on the Glyph BlackBox drives as being a great value, especially at their price point. Super reliable and well made, I really like the construction of the shell as well as the rubber jacket feature that adds shock protection. Have been using these pretty exclusively for a few months now and planning to order some more as my need for more memory and portable drives increases.

So far it works really well! My WD hard drive failed and this one has been a lifesaver. I highly recommend Glyph drives in general since i also have their 3 tb Glyph studio and both have been awesome! Even though I accidentally force eject them sometimes it seems like it has no effect on them at all. Super reliable and dope

Meanwhile, every other drive I ever bought works. Avoid these garbage devices and their entire company like the plague. They didnt change their company name from Glyph to G-Tech because they had a good brand reputation, Ill tell you that. Ive lost mulitple drives worth of info from these pieces of crap.

DO NOT BUY! I REPEAT, DO NOT BUY! I bought the 2TB Glyph blackbox plus from this seller and they sent me one that was broken. When I would insert it into my Mac or PC, they were unable to read it. They did refund me my money but it was frustrating trying to get it to work when i received it but then finding out that it had a defect. I had contacted Glyph support and told them that the blackbox plus would not stop making a beeping sound when plugged into the computer. They told me that the blackbox was defective and to return it to the seller. Also just as a side note, if you do decide on buying the blackbox plus, try the 1TB because its considerably faster than the 2TB model.

Extremely fast and reliable! I will be sticking with Glyph from now on!!

Wishing this was a 7200rpm device for 4K video editing. Also, wish the footprint was a bit smaller. Other than that, great drive thats dependable. Has a nice green glowing light. I prefer that over the bright white light on some drives.

Super disappointed in this drive. Worked great for about 7 months. I use a *lot* of portable drives for recording/content capture, and have had experience with a great number of rugged, drives over the years. I expected this one to be relatively bombproof: reliable for transporting in a bag and using on the go. ...But it didnt even survive being placed gently on a desktop, used for an hour, and then placed gently back into a cabinet for seven months. Id avoid this one at all costs.

I like the solid build. Only time will tell in terms of whether it will hold up. Several month and seems fine. My last high capacity portable drive (different manufacturer) suffered a single 3 ft drop onto cork floor and was destroyed. USB-C port broke from encrypted internal board making data recovery possible only by expensive professional data recovery service. Hopefully this one doesnt suffer a similar fate.
