The Ultimate Hub-Enabled RAID Storage for Professionals
In the world of professional creative work, speed, reliability, and efficiency are not just conveniences—they are necessities. The Glyph Blackbox PRO RAID is meticulously engineered to be the central powerhouse of your demanding workflow. Built for filmmakers, photographers, audio engineers, and digital artists who cannot afford compromise, this desktop drive combines high-capacity, enterprise-grade storage with the connectivity of a multi-port hub, eliminating bottlenecks and decluttering your workspace.
At its core, the Blackbox PRO RAID features dual 7,200 RPM enterprise-class hard drives, delivering sustained transfer speeds of up to 550 MB/s. This raw power makes editing multi-stream 4K video, browsing massive photo libraries, or working with complex multi-track audio projects a seamless experience. Harnessing the power of true hardware RAID, you have the flexibility to choose your path. Configure it in RAID-0 for maximum speed and capacity, or select RAID-1 for mirrored redundancy, providing an instant backup of your mission-critical files. Setup is simple and software-independent, ensuring consistent, reliable performance.
Beyond storage, the Blackbox PRO RAID transforms your desk into a streamlined creative hub. Dual Thunderbolt 3 ports allow you to daisy-chain up to five additional devices, while a dedicated DisplayPort 1.4 output lets you connect a 4K monitor directly. Ingesting footage is faster than ever with front-facing CFast 2.0 and UHS-II SD card readers, and a 10Gb/s USB-A port provides a high-speed connection for other peripherals. All this is housed in a rugged aluminum chassis that doubles as a heatsink, keeping the drives cool and performance stable under the most intense workloads. Backed by Glyph's 29-year legacy and an industry-leading warranty, the Blackbox PRO RAID isn't just a drive—it's an investment in your craft.
