Finely I decided to build a fast and organized backup for all of my photography. Older backups on external drivers some are hide and very hard to get on master folders in old iPhoto (Macs till highSierra). Digging up my files and transferring it to my new Glyph SSD was super fast together with my M1 MacBook Pro. Once connected it behaved as part of the Mac. Searching a file and flip between photos preview make it easy to find what you are looking for without wasting hours with a slower SSD.

I was in need to find ASAP a fast and reliable SSD as my Mac’s internal SSD is filled to the top and I was recommended to “off-shore” the (audio) libraries to an external one. I was concerned with a speed as to have fast load up times and seamless streaming is an essential feat. Even-though I could not take an advantage of the new gen of USB3 that the disk supports and I am “only” getting about 250/300 MB/s read/write speeds, it is still super fast for all the work and tests I have done so far. It’s blazingly fast and the load times for my sound libraries, loops, orchestral sounds are instant! I am happily overwhelmed and I am thankful to go for friends’ recommendation for Glyph. IT’s plug and play on Mac. I had 3 drives from Crucial that kept failing (that’s for another review & stay clear of those products) but so far the Blackbox works stunningly well! Well worth of the investment and keep an eye on the instant rebate that expires soon!

This is a pretty basic device and it works as advertised. I would give 5 stars but I havent tested the ruggedness yet, thankfully. This does have a decent warranty as well. Speed seemed quick and frame seems like sturdy metal.
