Glyph Technologies PRO RAID External HDD Reviews

Broken out of the box

By Cloey
Rated 1 out of 5
Date: 2024-12-30

This product was broken out of the box, causing me to get behind on a deadline. The Customer Service team at Glyph was atrocious in handling my issue, and simply tried to get more money out of me instead by asking to put a hold on my card to send me the same exact ineffective product. B & H customer service was equally disappointing and showed no concern over the fact the this has caused me to be behind on my deadline.

We run multiple units on set for backups, no issues and they've been very reliable.
