- The SSD of the size of the palm with 30 TB capacity offers amazing storage in an ultra competent aluminum shell
- Glyph Blackbox Plus U.2 is faster than any portable HDD, but slower than Pcie Gen4 SSDS
- Formatted for macOS, but Windows reform can confuse users less experts in technology
Glyph has presented its external SSD Blackbox Plus U.2, a high speed and high speed storage solution aimed at professional content creators, workflows intensive in data and business users.
Its outstanding capacity of 30.72TB even exceeds the largest external HDD models, which generally exceed 24 TB.
By measuring just over five inches long and less than an inch thick, the device is approximately the size of a resistant smartphone and easily adapts to one hand.
Blackbox Plus U.2 is still delayed behind Pcie Gen4 SSD Internal
The Blackbox Plus U.2 is based on Business Grade NVME technology and offers sustained data transfer speeds of up to 1,050 MB/s, fast, although remarkably slower than the higher level PCIE Gen4 internal SSDs.
That said, this portable SSD is connected through a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Gen 2 GB interface, which is compatible with USB 3.0 setback and Thunderbolt 3. This guarantees broad compatibility in several hardware configurations.
Transmission ships preform for macOS, but can be reformat for Windows. Even so, the configuration can raise a challenge for users who are not familiar with the unit format or multiplatform configurations.
Cooling is handled through an aluminum enclosure without a fan that functions as a heat dissipator. While this passive system eliminates mechanical noise, it may not be ideal in high temperature environments under sustained loads.
The device requires an external power supply, which affects portability. Compared to SSDs with bus feed, this configuration is more voluminous and less convenient for mobile or casual users.
In the box, Glyph includes a USB-C cable to USB-C, a USB-C cable to USB-A and a three-pointed feed adapter. Buyers also obtain a three -year hardware guarantee, two years of recovering level 1 data and an anticipated one -year replacement program.
The Blackbox Plus U.2 is available in 7.6TB, 15.36TB and 30.72TB models, with a price of $ 899.95 (with a discount of $ 200), $ 2,399.95 and $ 4,999.95, respectively. Advance orders are now open on the official Glyph website.
