Accelerate your creative workflow with the 40TB Blackbox PRO RAID Array from Glyph Technologies. Featuring a 10 Gb/s compatible USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 connection, this high-speed desktop storage system features two 20TB enterprise class 7200 rpm, 3.5" SATA drives, providing 40TB of raw storage capacity for your 4K videos, high-resolution RAW photos, and other important files. The convenient hardware-based RAID controls allow you to quickly configure the dual drive array for RAID 0 to maximize capacity and speeds of up to 550 MB/s. Configuring the unit for RAID 1 provides data redundancy. The Blackbox PRO RAID Array is preformatted for Mac systems, so you can get straight to using it right out of the box. Windows users must reformat the drives before use.
Quickly ingest footage to the drive array using the front-facing CFast 2.0 and UHS-II SD card readers. The USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 port allows you to connect 10 Gb/s compatible storage drives directly to the system. The Blackbox PRO RAID features a comprehensive 3-year hardware warranty, which includes the cables, in addition to two years of Level 1 data recovery and one year of advanced replacement.
The USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 connection can transfer up to 10 Gb/s with compatible devices and is designed to work with Thunderbolt 3 and USB 3.0 systems using the included cables.
This desktop drive system includes two enterprise class 7200 rpm, 3.5" 20TB drives with data transfer speeds of up to 550 MB/s.
With hardware-based RAID 0, 1, JBOD, and SPAN support, you can configure your Blackbox PRO RAID system without having to deal with finicky software solutions. Use the convenient switches to configure the system for RAID 0 to maximize speed and usable capacity or RAID 1 for data redundancy.
Streamline your workflow with the onboard CFast 2.0 and an SD card reader. The USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 port allows you to connect 10 Gb/s compatible storage devices and charge connected peripherals.
The rugged aluminum shell acts as a heatsink keeping the internal hard drive at its optimal temperature to deliver higher sustained speeds.
The Blackbox PRO is formatted for Mac computers and is Time Machine compatible right out of the box. You can reformat the drives for Windows.
