Designed for the Daily, Grueling Use of Audio!

The Glyph GPT50 500GB 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 500GB external hard drive performs.

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.

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.
