Nice but seems a little slow. I feel like my samsung t7 shield's are faster.

A pricey SSD with speed and style

PERKS: It's a great drive, solid, sturdy construction. A cool, compact design with a slim body and reliable transfer speeds that amaze. PITFALLS: I should have bought the 16GB (just to have the extra space).

If connected to Thunderbolt 4, would the transfer speed improve?
Asked by: Ravi
The transfer speeds of a USB drive such as the Glyph Technologies 8TB Blackbox Plus USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 External SSD will not improve when connecting them to a higher-bandwidth port such as Thunderbolt 4. You could think of it as connecting a narrow hose to a wide hose; the amount of water coming out of the narrow hose will be the same, regardless of what it is going into.

I currently own a 12 TB Glyph Drive 7200 --how much faster would this SSD be compared to the one I own?
Asked by: Vito L
That would depend on the specific model of 12 TB 7200rpm Glyph Drive that you have, but on average, the Glyph Technologies 8TB Blackbox Plus USB 3.1 Type-C External Solid-State Drive should transfer data about twice as fast as a 7200rpm HDD.
