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.

Quiet & Reliable

By Robert
Rated 5 out of 5

I Use This Drive As A Back For Video Projects (4K Footage In 1080 Timelines). I’ve Found It To Be Quiet And Reliable. If I Find A Need To Edit Off Of The Drive To Make A Video Revision Its Speed Is Adequate With No Dropped Frames. I’ve Also Got 3 Other 24TB Versions Of This Drive That I Have Used Over The Past Years With No Issues.

At this price point, I expected a lot better

I got this thinking that for the price, it would be a well built dual drive hub that will serve me for a like, 4 years before I'd maybe need to change it. But the first drive I got failed immediately. Luckily B&H took it back and sent me a new one right away, and B&H paid for the shipping. But the second one came in, and it had a funny noise every time the drives spooled down. I sent a video of the noise to Glyph, and they said they would replace the 2nd unit but because of my geographic location I had to pay for shipping. Well, let me see if they could fix the problem. I finally got the third unit after about a month from the first purchase, and I'm still hearing the noise (which I guess is just the drives being themselves). But the unit has been randomly un-mounting itself.. like, just falling off in Finder from MacOS without warning. Luckily I don't plan do do production on this HDD (it's to hold all the media) but at this price point I had expectations that it would just work and it doesn't. I did give it one extra star from what I originally thought because their support was top notch, so at least while it's under warranty I know they are supportive. But that's not for a very long time.

The promo video for the PRO RAID on the Glyph website clearly shows a 2-port version. They even show someone daisy-chaining two stacked units. Maybe they have other models coming?
