Glyph Technologies Blackbox PRO External HDD Overview

Streamline storage and workflows with the Blackbox PRO 16TB 2-Bay Thunderbolt 3 RAID Array with Hub from Glyph Technologies. Boasting two drive bays populated with one 8TB hard drive each, this RAID array provides a capacity of 16TB. Choose from RAID 0, 1, JBOD, and SPAN modes and take advantage of transfer speeds up to 550 MB/s thanks to dual Thunderbolt 3 interfaces and daisy chain support.

Connect to a monitor via a DisplayPort interface and use the integrated hub to connect to wired peripherals via a USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 port. Additionally, the hub sports a CF 2.0 and SD card reader slot for easy access of compatible memory cards. A quiet cooling fan helps keep temperatures low, along with an aluminum construction that encourages passive cooling. Compatible with macOS and Time Machine ready right out of the box, this RAID array is also compatible with Windows after a reformat.

Please note that storage capacity depends on the RAID mode used.
