Great company
I have bought their prducts for about 15 years, very reliable and well built
Great Drive
I have a couple of this and they are built very well.
Works incredible well
It was fairly easy to setup, it feels well made, and only makes about as much noise as my laptop when being heavily used, I recently purchased Native Instruments Komplete 12, it took about 90+ hours to download, which in my opinion is an excellent stress test. It performed flawlessly and everything was downloaded.
A good purchase
As advertised, and as seen, the Blackboxes (I now have 5) are "ruggedly" attractive, especially on a functional basis. Hookups are simple and info flows into it quickly. Stored, they stack, the rubber
casing keeping them stable, slip free. The active green light indicates the unit is active. Shutdown is quick. They are handy. Purchase was facilitated by the "3 quick payments." Experience has been
gratifying.
GREAT 8TB mobile External Drive!
I'm a traveller. At my home studio I use a MacBook Pro, LaCie 6big 24TB partitioned 3 ways for Pro Tools / Final Cut Pro / and Plugins. I have terabytes of plugins ... ie, a LOT which I use with NI Midi Controller. Prior to owning this Black Box, when going through airport security, I've had as much as 6-8 external drives to check through (sigh). NOW ... with this Glyph 8TB it's much simpler. This product is great with 7200rpm for my needs. Gotta tell ya...it's FAST...and definitely 'rugged' as advertised. I do travel with the smaller NI S-model midi controller, and it is so NICE having access to my tons of plugins, etc to keep my workflow going. Finally, it's speedy transferring files when I return home from travels. I highly recommend this!
