Unlike off-the-shelf hard drives, Glyph actually designed their GPT50 USB 3.0 with the intense demands of professional media production in mind. Spinning at 7,200rpm and loaded with 64MB cache, these hard drives support massive track counts, high-resolution sample streaming, and HD video. FireWire 800, eSATA, and USB 3.0 equip the GPT50 USB 3.0 for today"s computers while providing backwards compatibility support for when you need to connect to legacy machines. An ultra-quiet, intelligently controlled cooling fan runs so silently, you"ll have no problem recording right in the control room with this drive. And, in addition to a hardwired disk-health monitoring system, the GPT50 USB 3.0 carries Glyphs heroic 3-year warranty for total peace of mind.
