The small wonder

I have thought about getting a larger volume portable HD. When I finally decided to order this one--it was not available. I have a 2 TB version, but it has become full, so this time I selected the 4TB. Then I couldn't find one until I got to Adorama. I was able to get the last one that they had in stock. I was very lucky and I am grateful to get this HD to organize my files on my other HD and have a good system ot back up all of my photos.

Black Box Plus 500GB External SSD

I plugged the Glyph 500 GB BlackBox into my Mac mini, turned on the Mac and Wa La the computer HD was backed up. It can’t get easier than that, at least for a Mac computer.

Great looking drive for a great price

The drive looks great and performs quite well, performing a brand new TimeCapsule backup of a 1 TB MacBook Pro in just a few hours. Subsequent backups are super fast and silent. I truly recommend this drive for anyone looking for a dependable external drive whether for backups or expanded storage.

Great Product

Fast external hard drive for USB-C users and great customer support from Glyph as always if any issues should come up. For sure go for the 1TB over the 2TB if you need speed over storage.

Fast and reliable

I have been using more and more of these Glyph drives and have had no trouble at all. I also get reliably fast speed despite being bus-powered and 5400RPM. Definitely recommending.

Great Harddrive

I have been looking for 1 2 TB SSD for travel, I like the rugged case for extra security even though it is a SSD. I trust my photo's on this device and found it supper to another 1tb SSD drive i had been using.

Solid drive, good price.

So far so good. I have never had any problems with Glyph drives and I expect this SSD to be no difference. Grabbed it when it was on sale and am happy with the purchase. This drive is larger than the Atom series but a good size for a desktop drive.

Excellent, reasonably priced, rugged and worthwhile

This is one of (at this time) only a few portable, bus-powered USB-C hard drives. Great size, fast enough, and did I say rugged? I travel alot on business - needed this to back up my new 13" MacBook Pro Touch Bar. I recommend it
