- The SSD the size of a palm with a capacity of 30 TB offers breathtaking storage in an ultra-compact aluminum shell
- Glyph Blackbox Plus U.2 is faster than any portable hard drive, but slower than PCIe Gen4 SSDS
- Formatted for macOS, but reformatting for Windows can confuse fewer warned users in technology
Glyph has unveiled its external Blackbox Plus U.2 SSD, a high -capacity and high speed storage solution for professional content creators, workers with high data intensity and business users.
Its capacity of 30.72 to off competition even exceeds the largest models of external hard drives, which generally exceed approximately 24 TB.
Measuring a little more than five inches in length and less than a thick thickness, the device is roughly the size of a robust smartphone and easily adapts in one hand.
Blackbox Plus U.2 is still lagging behind internal SSDs PCIe Gen4
The Blackbox Plus U.2 is built on company quality NVME technology and provides sustained data transfer speeds up to 1,050 MB / s, quickly, although in particular slower than internal high -level internal SSDs.
That said, this portable SSD connects via a USB interface of 10 GB USB 3.2 Gen 2, which is back compatible with USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt 3. This guarantees large compatibility between various hardware configurations.
The disk is preformated for macOS but can be reformulated for Windows. However, the configuration can make a challenge for improperly familiar users with the formatting of the reader or the multiplatform configurations.
Cooling is handled through an aluminum case without fan which serves as thermal dissipator. Although this passive system eliminates mechanical noise, it may not be ideal in high temperature environments under sustained loads.
The device requires an external power supply, which has an impact on portability. Compared to bus food SSDs, this configuration is larger and less practical for mobile or occasional users.
In the box, Glyph includes a USB-C to USB-C cable, a USB-C to USB-A cable and a three-steep supply adapter. Buyers also obtain a three -year hardware guarantee, two years of level 1 data recovery and a replacement program in advance of one year.
The blackbox plus U.2 is available in 7.6 TB models, 15.36 TB and 30.72 TB, at a price of $ 899.95 (with a discount of $ 200), $ 2,399.95 and $ 4,999.95, respectively. Pre -orders are now open on the official Glyph website.
