Hardware RAID
Blackbox PRO RAID supports hardware RAID 0, 1, JBOD, and SPAN. You'll have the flexibility to set it up for maximum speed (RAID 0) or redundancy (RAID 1). Set it and forget it with no need to deal with finicky and slow software based RAID.

Glyph Technologies RAID PRO Reviews

Not a good value for the money

By Patrick
Rated 1 out of 5
Date: 2026-02-22

I bought three 40TB drives in December 2025. One drive works as my main storage for photos and videos attached to my Macbook Pro and the other two are backups. One drive made lot of noise right out of the box and the other two were quiet. I should have sent the one drive back but I did not as I use it for a backup. As of February 2026, one of the drives will no longer boot up. Not a good value for the money. I wish HP still made the G-Raid drives. I have several that are 15 plus years old and still work, no issues.

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.
