Glyph Technologies Atom EV Reviews

Small Package - Big Punch!

The footprint of this 1TB external SSD is amazing!. I like the rubberized exterior and the fact it comes with USB and USB-C connection patch cords. Set up on my Mac was completely automated, the only think I did was to rename the drive for my convenience.

So far so good

After a colleagues drive failed due to the great Samsung fail of 2023, I found myself holding my breath every time I plugged my extreme pro ssd in hoping my project files were still in tact.(And yes, I have more than one backup drive so nothing would be gone forever but my working drives are crucial to me.) I couldn't take it anymore and decided Glyph has a good track record with stable drives so paid the extra and got peace of mind.

Will the 8TB Atom EV External SSD work with the ...

Will the 8TB Atom EV External SSD work with the Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini Extreme ISO? Although the Atom 4TB drive is on BMD's approved list, the 8TB one isn't, and I'm loathe to spend $1800 only to find it won't work.
Asked by: David S.
Depending on the USB cable (and the length thereof), the disk format you're using, and the internals in your specific copy of this drive, you may indeed find that your specific Glyph Technologies 8TB Atom EV USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C External SSD (B&H# GLA8000EV) will work with the Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini Extreme ISO (B&H# BLATEMMEI). However, especially if you record multiple video feeds then chances of compatibility will be less. For those reasons, and because the manufacturer does not recommend this option at this time, we cannot recommend this specific drive for the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO. However, you are welcome to try it to see if your copy works with your USB cable and to take advantage of our 30 day return policy: https://bhpho.to/3aPhgX2
