This review is from: Glyph GT 050Q - Hard drive - 2 TB - external - FireWire / FireWire 800 / Hi-Speed USB / eSATA - 5900 rpm - buffer: 32 MB - black powder coat (Personal Computers)
Pros:
1. Very well built / durability. Best I have seen.
2. Has a power button
3. Love the power supply. Best I have seen.
4. Lots of connections (Esata, Firewire 800, Firewire 400, USB)
5. Large cache size (32 mb)
6. Lots of space for storage
7. Powers down when not in use
8. Great durable carrying case
9. Best warranty I have seen (3 year warranty and the first 2 years comes with data level 1 data retrieval, the only warranty that I have seen that comes with any free data retrieval and includes overnight replacement)
10. The company overall has a very good reputation and is pretty much the only hard drive manufacturer that is approved by Digidesign
11. From what I've heard, Glyph has very good customer service (though I have not dealt with them yet)

Cons:
1. NO USB CABLE?
The only cables that are provided here is the power cable, Firewire 400, and Firewire 800 cable. WHY NO USB? I realize the...Read more

Like no other. This unit has a great reputation. After a friend had his external harddrive die, I did my research. A lot more expensive, but the extreme in reliability. What's the point if the system dies with memory on it you want to keep? I save all my document and family photos on three different drives for safety. The Glyph is the fastest to transfer data. It's very quiet. Mostly I feel confident it won't crash any time soon. The power supply and drive are first rate quality. I've been burned by computer components before, if you do the research on their individual components, you can't go wrong. I will definitely invest in another Glyph the next time I fill an external harddrive. P.S. the unit comes with a hard case for transport, great idea and worth keeping available when needed.

At first blush, this is a great, quality product. It certainly seems more substantial than less expensive hard drives. Time will tell, of course, since the real issue with hard drives is when they burn out after only a few years. But my first impression, is that this could last well past the five year average I've had from other drives. Seems like a great product, certainly beautifully made and finished.
