From Our Research Team:

Put a Powerful 4TB RAID Array on Your Desktop!

Glyph puts big-time capacity and speed on your desktop, with the FTRD-4000 ForteRAID drive array! You know how important it is to have a drive system that's super-fast and flexible enough to use with different systems. That's why Glyph packed this 4TB FTRD-4000 ForteRAID with the features you need, and made it desktop-friendly to boot! Inside the elegant aluminum package you'll find four 1,000GB drives you can depend on for the ultimate in performance and reliability. And Glyph made this box easy to configure and monitor, thanks to its fantastic Glyph Manager 4 software utility. If you're working with audio or video, you know you've got the power and peace of mind you need, with the FTRD-4000 ForteRAID array.



You can depend on Glyph for the ultimate in speed, performance, and reliability. We do! And this ForteRAID array is exactly what you need to get the job done and keep your projects going. Want flexibile connectivity? How about two FireWire 800 ports, a USB 2.0 port , and an eSATA port? They're right onboard Plus, ForteRAID arrays can operate in RAID 0, 1, 3, 5, 10, and Spanning modes, so you can configure your system the way that works best for you.

Speaking of configurations, the included Glyph Manager 4 software utility makes them a snap! You can set your internal RAID mode and so much more, via this handy feature. A user interface allows you to monitor the status and "health" of the system right from your computer (the ForteRAID also blinks its front LEDs red to alert you). Because the drives are constantly being monitored, you have a better chance of backing up data in the event of a drive failure.

Glyph even lets you add yet another layer of protection to your system! ForteRAID accommodates a "hot spare" inside its chassis, so you can perform rebuilds instantly if you need to. And, Glyph offers the best warranty out there: three years of full protection plus one year free advance replacement on removable drives. If you want peace of mind when you're working on a big project, you need a ForteRAID array!

NOTE: At present, Pro Tools does not support record or playback on volumes 2TB or larger. If using Pro Tools, choose a ForteRAID capacity and RAID mode that yields a volume 2TB or smaller. The following models are smaller than 2TB and are compatible: 1TB and 2TB (any drive mode); 3TB and 4TB (RAID 1, RAID 3 + hot spare, RAID 5 + hot spare, RAID 10). The 6TB and 8TB are not recommended for Pro Tools, unless used as backup only.

Glyph FTRD-4000 ForteRAID Hard Drive Array Features:
  • Four 1,000GB drives (7,200rpm)
  • Accommodates spare drive for emergency backup
  • Supports RAID 0, 1, 3, 5, 10, and Spanning modes
  • Two FireWire 800 ports, one USB 2.0 port, and one eSATA port

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
