Glyph Blackbox Pro SSD

The Glyph Blackbox Pro utilizes PCIe Gen4 technology and a Thunderbolt 3 interface (compatible with Thunderbolt 4) to achieve incredibly high-speed data transfers. It typically hits sequential read speeds up to 7,000 MB/s and write speeds around 6,500 MB/s. This makes it ideal for data-heavy professional workflows like 4K video editing.

Yes, the drive is cross-platform and works seamlessly with both macOS and Windows systems right out of the box. It often comes formatted for Mac out of the factory but can easily be reformatted to exFAT for universal use. It also works perfectly with Apple silicon Macs like the M2 MacBook Pro.

Unlike larger desktop RAID drives, the Blackbox Pro is bus-powered via its Thunderbolt connection, meaning it draws power directly from the computer. However, because Thunderbolt cables can only provide a limited amount of power, some older computers might require the included power supply if the port doesn't supply enough juice. It includes a 10Gbps Thunderbolt cable in the box.

Glyph is known for its robust build quality and typically backs the Blackbox Pro with a standard 3-year warranty. The drive is housed in a rugged aluminum enclosure designed to dissipate heat and withstand the rigors of travel. The warranty also includes free basic data recovery attempts in the event of a drive failure.
