Compact and rugged

The Glyph Atom SSD's compact form factor begs to be thrown in a backpack and escorted around the world. And thanks to its solid aluminum chassis and removable rubber bumper, you'll feel confident trusting your data to the Atom SSD's rugged reliability.

Ultra quiet

A clever ventilation system keeps your Glyph Atom SSD at prime operating temperature without a fan. This makes the drive whisper quiet for field work and energy efficient to boot.

Time Machine ready

Your Glyph Atom SSD ships pre-formatted as HFS+ with journaling enabled. This means it's ready for backups via Apple Time Machine right out of the box. Windows user? No problem. A quick reformat readies the Glyph Atom SSD for Windows systems.

Access files quickly

Enjoy transfer rates up to 560 MB/s with the Glyph Atom SSD. Its USB-C connector supports the latest USB 3.1 Gen2 protocols. It's also natively compatible with the Thunderbolt 3 port on your Mac, so if you rock cross-platform devices, you're in luck. Sweetwater was happy to see Glyph include a USB-C to USB-A adapter in the box, which makes it compatible with USB 3.0 laptops and devices.

Frustration-free USB-C connector

You've spent minutes of your life — minutes! — attempting to plug in your USB devices upside down. Fortunately, the Atom SSD's reversible USB-C-type connector plugs in correctly every time, saving you precious seconds making connections in the dark or during presentations.

Great drive!

Fast as lightning and quiet as a church mouse. Can't go wrong.

Great, easy to use hard drive

I have been using this Glyph Atom for a couple of months, this is my first SSD drive. This is easy to use, runs silently, and the transfer speeds are quick when saving large Logic files. The green light is a nice touch, it blinks when active and tells me when I can safely soft "eject" the disk before unplugging. I keep this at my workstation and quickly backup my updated song files at the end of each session.

Perfect replacement

I'm a Pro Tools and Apollo Twin user who recently upgraded my older iMac to a new MacBook Pro. I needed a new external drive to replace an older G-drive where my sessions are stored. The Glyph Atom has worked flawlessly with no issues since I transferred my library. It's small and portable. I'm very happy with it.

Space Saver

This is the second time that Sweetwater humble me to listen to them. When I first started recording music, the sale engineers kept trying to convince me that I need an audio interface. I was stubborn to believe that I don't need one. I finally listen ... how was I trying to record music without it. Now they just offer this hardware to me, which I knew that I was not going to like it and return it back. After using this thing, I want another one. Thank you, Sweetwater, for being patient with me. I can be a little hard headed (okay, a lot), but Sweetwater always take the time to be patient with me to help me to get what I need
