High quality digital audio requires high quality storage and plenty of it. Glyph are one company who know what they are doing in that area and have launched several new drives that should make a lot of friends in pro audio.
The GT 205 is a double-space five-bay FireWire enclosure specifically designed for applications requiring multiple drives. It can be configured with four GT Key hot-swappable drives in any available capacities, and its SCSI/FireWire expansion bay offers the option of AIT backup, a SCSI or FireWire hot-swap receiving bay, DVD-R/RW or CD-R/RW.
Using Integrityâ„¢, Glyph's proprietary hot-swap technology, you can easily shuttle content to other GT Series enclosures with the 7,200 RPM GT Key. Integrityâ„¢ is an advanced FireWire hot-swap interface that provides greater reliability than existing hybrid ATA-to- FireWire products. Focused on keeping your studio quiet, GT Keys incorporate sound-dampening metal in their frames. This composite metal technology absorbs drive vibration and reduces unwanted noise.
Glyph's GT 205 comes standard with a three-year warranty, while GT Keys carry an additional overnight advance replacement warranty in the first year. The hot-swap drives in the GT 205 can be interchanged with the GT 051 tabletop and the GT 103 3-bay 1U enclosures. The GT 205 is configurable in any combination of up to four GT Key hot-swappable drives, plus the side-bay.
