ITHACA, NY - Glyph Technologies (www.glyphtech.com) is now shipping the GT 050Q, a new table-top hard drive with a capacity of up to 500GB. The GT 050Q incorporates FireWire 400 FireWire 800, eSATA and USB 2.0 ports and is designed for high-speed access to video and audio content.
The GT 050Q can be used with any Apple or PC computer with FireWire, USB or eSATA ports and is constructed with durable stainless steel. The unit uses tri-laminate sound-damping metal, which absorbs drive vibration before it can get to the chassis.
The GT 050Q is the first of Glyph's new products to use Seagate's new SATA drive technology, coupled with Oxford's 924 chip, and offers an eSATA port on the enclosure. Using eSATA, the GT 050Q can achieve transfer rates as high as 109MB/sec., making it well suited for digital video editing and high sample-rate audio production.
Peter Glanville, marketing director for Glyph, says, "The GT 050Q fills a need for users seeking faster audio and video storage solutions in a smaller footprint. Connecting the drive with FireWire 800 or eSATA in an audio environment will support high track counts, and striping two or more units together yields a high speed video RAID array."
