I asked if I can use this drive on my 2010 MAC Pro running Mountain Lion 10.8.5. You answered: "If you have a USB-C port, you can format this drive as needed for your OS." My old computer only has USB inputs, NOT the newer USB-C. Can this drive work with my old computer? Please let me know as I really need a hard drive for editing and backup THANKS SO MUCH! Micki
Asked by: Micki
Yes, you could connect the Glyph Technologies 4TB Blackbox PRO 7200 rpm USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 External Hard Drive to your computer's USB-A ports with the included USB-C to USB-A cable. However, please keep in mind that the drive's speed would only go as fast as the USB version your computer has.

The 12 TB model is listed as "Enterprise" in the title, however is the internal HDD itself (not the casing unit) being included as part of the enterprise-quality claim too (i.e. regarding warranty and MTBF)?

The reference to the enterprise is about the drive itself.

will this work with RAID 5 for video editing?

will this work with RAID 5 for video editing?
Asked by: Matt
A RAID 5 setup requires at least 3 disks. The Glyph Technologies 40TB Blackbox PRO RAID Desktop Drive (2 x 20TB, Thunderbolt 3), B&H # GLBBPR40RDT3, has 2 disks. You can still use it for video editing, but it can only work in RAID 0, 1, JBOD, and SPAN modes. If you are looking for a RAID 5 array, I would recommend looking into the Oyen Digital Fortis 5C 50TB 5-Bay External Drive Array with SoftRAID 8 Premium Kit, B&H # OY5FU3C50TV8, which does support RAID 5.
