Glyph Blackbox Pro: Professional-Grade Speed and Rugged Reliability
For the creative professional on the move, data integrity and speed are non-negotiable. The Glyph Blackbox Pro is engineered from the ground up to be the ultimate mobile workhorse, a fortress for your most critical files. Designed for photographers, videographers, musicians, and digital artists who work in the studio and in the field, this enterprise-class external drive delivers performance you can count on when it matters most.
The foundation of the Blackbox Pro is its incredibly durable enclosure. Forged from electro-galvanized cold-rolled steel and lightweight aluminum, it’s not just tough—it’s a sophisticated heat sink. This robust construction protects the high-performance drive inside from the bumps and drops of travel while passively dissipating heat for enhanced longevity and sustained performance. The fanless design ensures it operates silently, making it the perfect, unobtrusive companion for quiet recording studios or on-set video work. You get all the cooling you need without any of the distracting noise.
At its core, a 7200 RPM enterprise-class hard drive delivers transfer speeds of up to 220 MB/s, empowering you to transfer large media files in seconds, not minutes. The modern USB-C (3.1, 10Gb/s) port provides a fast, reliable connection to the latest Mac and PC computers, and is fully backward compatible with Thunderbolt 3, USB 3.0, and USB 2.0, ensuring you can connect to virtually any machine. Preformatted for macOS, it’s ready to use out of the box, but can be easily reformatted for Windows systems. Glyph stands behind the Blackbox Pro with an industry-leading warranty, including 2 years of Level 1 data recovery and 1 year of advance replacement, giving you unparalleled peace of mind to focus on your craft.

Return autorization
If you would like to return any item(s), please contact us by either emailing info@dittools.eu or calling (+372) 5556 0057. We will share with you a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) code and ask that you clearly mark this code outside of your shipping box as you ship your item(s) back for a refund.
You will be liable for the shipping and any applicable customs/duty fees returning the item(s).
Incorrect items

In order to determine whether the return is initiated due to a technical problem, we may ask for you to provide visual support like images or a video on the item(s).
Shipping
Returned merchandise must be in its original packaging, and placed in a decent shipping box, e.g. the same box that we shipped the items to you in. Please make sure to clearly mark the RMA code you have received from us outside on the box.
Do not forget to cover or peel off any existing shipping labels on the box.
DIT Supplies OÜ cannot be held accountable for return shipments that have not reached us or returns made without RMA codes. We strongly advise that if you are returning the item(s) with a carrier of your choice that you use a traceable shipping method.

Customs, duties & taxes
There are no customs duties or taxes on orders shipping within the EU. Orders shipped outside of the EU may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees collected by the destination country. The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to such import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are collected once a shipment reaches the recipient's country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be paid for by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; and when customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates. We advise that you contact your local customs office for more information.
