Glyph BlackBox Plus (2TB)

These Glyph drives are the only external hard drives I trust to last. Quick and pretty quiet, they have never failed on me and this is the third one Ive purchased. The other two are still going strong after several years.

Ive owned this Glyph only for three months but it has been plugged in and unplugged dozens of times, was carted across the globe, loaded and unloaded with data and has not skipped a beat. The USB 3.1, gen 2 is great. The case looks protective and seems to do the job.

After a bit of a challenge to configure for my MacBook Pro 2017 - works as expected. Initially the MacBook didnt recognize (as with my Passport as well). Some conflict or another.. a quick lookup on troubleshooting sites and blogs and problem solved.

I purchased this drive for my daughter to use with her MacBook Pro when she heads to college. It is extremely quiet and appears to be rugged. My only recommendation would be to reformat the drive for timemachine even though it comes pre-formatted for Mac as after we did a timemachine backup it must have taken 3 days for it to complete the encryption. I read that this is not an issue with the drive but the way macs work.

Bought this almost a year ago, and just had the unfortunate heart-stopping crash on my MacBook Pro hard drive, where I had to erase everything to factory settings. I was able to effectively restore all of my data from this device, since I’d been using time machine backup with it. Highly recommend for peace of mind!

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.

this product is sturdy and light and works well

great

I purchased this based on past successes with Glyph as a premium device for which I was willing to pay the extra premium. I used it as a third tier backup for important financial information. Unfortunately it failed shortly after the return deadline. I did not have it encrypted nor password protected so was reluctant to return it to Glyph for an exchange out of concern of data privacy. So I would 1) recommend not purchasing this and 2) with the one that you eventually purchase add protection so that if it fails you can feel comfortable with any return policy.

work great , really fast , slightly heavy
