Top-Of-The-Line Audio Storage!

Are you ready for DAW storage performance beyond your expectations? Introducing the next generation, all-FireWire GT 308! Glyph's engineers have been hard at work developing the GT 308 for high-resolution audio and the high capacity requirements of video. Building upon the technologies introduced with the Companion, the GT 308 has the capacity, functionality, reliability, and consistent performance for all your high-level studio projects. Whether you're recording, mixing, editing, or capturing, in any production environment, the GT 308 will reward you with a stress-free storage experience. The multiple ARM processors embedded in each Oxford 911 chip-one for each drive-throughout the system, provide control and peak performance that is better today than ever and will increase over time. Customizable Storage! While the GT 308 can handle up to 1.4TB of storage - yes, that's TERABYTE - Best of all, it connects to your computer via simple FireWire! GT 308 comes with your choice of two to six hot-swappable drives. Available options for the GT 308 SCSI/FireWire expansion bay (on the right of the unit) are: AIT backup, SCSI hot-swap receiving bay and DVD-R/RW. Hot Swap = Convenience! Using the GT 308 you will enjoy a revolution in hot swap technology. Removing a hot swap drive interrupts the data signal at the FireWire bus, not on the ATA bus like other hot swap systems-ensuring data integrity and consistency. Glyph's FireWire interconnectivity back plane assures you the best interface to maintain the integrity of your data. You can have confidence that GT 308 will move you ahead of the curve while pursuing your passion. What sets this system apart from all other "Hot-Swap FireWire" products is that the Glyph hot-swap interface operates according to the IEEE 1394a standard. The bridge board is built into the drive/tray. One of the benefits of FireWire is hotswappability, which means you remove or insert the tray at the FireWire interface level. FREE Tabletop Reciever! Extending the reach of the GT 308, Glyph has introduced a single FireWire Hot-Swap Tabletop receiver. And, it's included with every purchase of a GT 308 so you can take your work on the road. In any audio environment, the GT 308 offers options that go WAY beyond an off-the-shelf storage system. Ultra-Quiet Performance! Quiet like other Glyph products, hard drives and fans are mounted on Glyph's QuietMetal. Made from a composite metal technology, QuietMetal enables ultra-quiet operation for your studio environment. Features:

  • Glyph's FireWire bridging technolog complete with firmware engineered specifically for audio & video.
  • True FireWire hot swappable hard drive technology.
  • FireWire interconnectivity back plane for data integrity and reliability.
  • Automatic thermal sensing cooling to prolong the life of your system.
  • QuietMetal to eliminate external noise.
  • Glyph S.M.A.R.T. Manager(tm) software to monitor your system and protect your data with predictive failure analysis to warn you of issues with your storage subsystem before it's too late.
  • High performance, large-format 7,200 RPM hard drives
  • Durable triple-space rack mountable enclosure.
  • Standard configurations include: 6 hot-swappable hard drives, DVD-R/W, and large capacity AIT backup for the ultimate studio and road solution for recording, mixing, editing, authoring, archiving and backup; and 12 hot-swappable hard drives enabling up to 1.4TB for large capacity projects.
