Glyph GPT50 USB 3.0 - 500GB

Made for Media, Trusted by Pros!

Glyph's GPT50 USB 3.0 external hard drive provides your rig with pro-level protection and performance. The natural successor to Glyphs acclaimed GT050Q series, this GPT50 USB 3.0 hard drive provides more than fast enough data transfer speeds for high-track-count recording sessions, high-def sample playback, and HD video editing. It even provides you with three high-speed connection options, including FireWire 800, eSATA, and USB 3.0, taking advantage of the latest technology, without shutting out older computers. From its phenomenally quiet operation to its stellar 3-year warranty, there's nothing not to like about a Glyph GPT50 USB 3.0 hard drive.

• The small, fast, and quiet hard drive you need
• Three high-speed ways to connect to your computer
• Nothing beats Glyph's killer 3-year warranty

Following over half a decade of wild success with the GT050Q lineup, Glyph set out to create a new industry standard with their GPT50 USB 3.0, and that meant doing more than meeting the old benchmark. For starters, Glyph designed the GPT50 USB 3.0 to be a third smaller than the GT050Q, saving you a bit of desktop space and noticeable room in your laptop case. At the same time, an intelligent, temperature-controlled quiet fan makes it perfect for recording in the control room. And since the whole thing is built around a 7,200rpm 64MB hard drive, you know you'll get the track counts and sample performance your music demands.

It's really saying something when the slowest connection on the GPT50 USB 3.0 is FireWire 800. In fact, Glyph loaded this workhorse hard drive with three of the most important and useful computer connection out there: FireWire 800, eSATA, and USB 3.0. This gives you access to data transfer rates engineers only dreamed of in the past. What's more, both the FireWire and USB are backwards compatible, so you can connect your GPT50 USB 3.0 to just about any system you can get your hands on.

As much as we hate to think about it, disaster strikes and, on occasion, hard drives fail. Let's hope that doesn't happen to you. However, if your GPT50 USB 3.0 does break down in the first three years, Glyph has you totally covered. In fact, if it dies within two years, Glyph will even do what they can to rescue your data, and if it dies within a year, they'll even ship you a new drive in advance. And with failsafes in place such as exceptional ventilation and a hardwired drive health monitoring system, it's unlikely your GPT50 USB 3.0 will fail early or without sufficient warning.
