Designed for the Daily, Grueling Use of Audio!

The Glyph GPT50 2TB external hard drive is the ultimate storage solution for your project and mobile studio. The GPT50 includes a built-in power supply, two 9-pin FireWire 800 connectors, a USB 2.0 connector, one eSATA port, and it's built in a sturdy steel case. All that means, it's ready to interface with whatever kind of laptop or desktop computer you have already - and whatever one your friend brings over too. And the GPT50 has new features to protect your data: you must hold the power switch for three seconds to power off the drive, preventing accidental shut-offs. Also, you can check the GPT50's status at a glance, thanks to the multifunction LED that displays drive power and activity as well as warnings of possible drive malfunctions. If you work with digital audio or video, you'll love how the Glyph GPT50 2TB external hard drive performs.

The renowned reliability of Glyph hard drives
It's impossible to place a dollar value on a once-in-a-lifetime performance. So why trust that magic to a bargain basement hard drive? That's why you need the Glyph GPT50 2TB, or any Glyph drive for that matter. Here at Sweetwater, we equip all our studios with Glyph hard drives, which are the most dependable, made-for-audio hard drives available - and trust us, we scoured the pro audio planet searching for these. Glyph gives you the kind of peace-of-mind you can't possibly measure.

Multiple interfacing options
The Glyph GPT50 gives you three different ways to connect, maximizing versatility. Firewire 800, USB 2.0, and eSATA are all ready to interface with. That's why the GPT50 is ideal for your recording studio - not only do you have your choice of connections for your host computer, it's easy to combine multiple devices with the GPT50. For example, you can connect to your computer with the eSATA port, then daisy-chain your Firewire audio interface to the GPT50. Or you can take your GPT50 from your home studio to another studio for overdubs and mixing, without worrying about whether your hard drive will connect when you get there.

Whisper-quiet performance
You'll appreciate the noise-elimination technologies built into the GPT50. Because this high-tech drive was made for pro audio and video, the crew at Glyph understands that you can't have your hard drive making crazy amounts of noise when you have live microphones in the room. You won't even know the GPT50 is there, that's how quiet it is.

I'd like to think I've done some exhaustive research when it comes to external HDs. In the end, it was the reviewers' praise that nudged me toward getting a Glyph. The warranty and data recovery offer... read more [+]ed certainly contributed to my decision as well. On top of that Paul Allen, my sales engineer, called me a few weeks after I got the drive just to ask what I thought about it and if it was doing the job. I said to him what I'll say here: "It's fantastic. It's unbelievably quiet. It was worth every penny." Skip the trip to the electronics store. If you're in the market for a pro grade external drive, do yourself a favor and call Paul Allen at Sweetwater and grab this drive. I'm getting another one. close [-]
