Glyph BlackBox Pro BBPR6000 6TB External Hard Drive 7200 RPM, USB-C (3.1,Gen2)

Picked up the 6TB version to be used out on set during production. We've had this out on 2 shoots so far and it is working as advertised, which is all you can ask for. It is a large drive, think a little smaller than a GDrive. It is externally powered. It is quiet, as it is currently offloading 5TB of footage right next to me now. Transfer speeds are as advertised. I do really like their 3-2-1 warranty, we retire most drives after a year, and knowing during that year they will overnight a new drive if we need it is great. We have been looking for a replacement for the GDrive and Lacie family and I believe we have found it. We will be picking up more and will be trying out their other products. I'll update this review periodically as we put this drive through its paces.

I ordered 2 drives. Both worked great, only gripe was that one had a noisy fan. Good value, but I probably will stick with the Lacie rugged raid drives in the future. I do like the lighter/slower Glyph drives a lot. Additionally, they are quite large and do heat up. Make sure you have adequate ventilation around them.

This is blowing my mind. I've tried USB 3.1 cables with this before with no change in speed. But for a random test, I hooked up the short 3" USB 3.1 cable that came with my SS G Drive. And the speed is skyrocketing! Don't even know how it's possible. Hopefully, the vendor can shed some light on this discovery. Either way, wow!

These hard drives are heavy and noisy... but study, they are not. They are too heavy to withstand damage. I dropped one once and it stopped working completely. There are better, sturdier hard drives that are less expensive.

It took me a while to find a 7200 rpm high quality drive. I regret buying this now after having it for 6 or so months. The drive is unbelievably loud... It rattles my desk, the fan inside it is really loud, and it never seems to go to sleep or turn off, even if it's not plugged into my laptop where I use it for a time machine / sample drive. I have to physically turn it off. For the price of this I was hoping for better. The read and write times on it are good, and haent ha

I just got this drive now. As a photography student you take a lot of photos!! I didnt like not being able to have them not on one drive. You know it's bad when you're 4tb drive is almost full!! So I got this larger one to keep them all together. I had also been volunteering and dont like taking my only main drive with me. I've seen and heard about people doing that and its stolen. So so fat this is great. Love the extra casing and storage and not to huge so I can easily carry it around. I normally go with major brands like San Fisk etc for this kind of thing but am really pleased with the quality would buy again!!

Definitely noisy

Sturdy, reliable, and fast
