The Glyph Blackbox Plus U.2 30.72TB brings enterprise-class U.2 NVMe storage to an external desktop/portable enclosure aimed at professional post-production and mission-critical workflows.
With up to 1,050MB/s sustained transfer performance and 30.72TB of high-endurance solid-state storage, it is suited to video editing, motion graphics, DIT ingest, large project libraries and other environments where predictable sustained behaviour is more important than short benchmark peaks.
The drive uses an enterprise-class U.2 NVMe SSD rather than a conventional portable consumer SSD architecture. Glyph positions the platform for demanding workflows where high endurance, sustained performance and reliability are priorities.
Glyph specifies transfer speeds up to 1,050MB/s. This is appropriate for high-volume media transfers, editing directly from external storage, post-production caches and other large-file workflows.
The 10Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C interface is compatible with USB 3.1, USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt 3 hosts, subject to the performance limits of the connected port.
Blackbox Plus U.2 uses the included external power supply rather than relying on host bus power. Glyph specifically highlights this as a reliability advantage for professional workflows and DIT-cart integration.
The rugged aluminium enclosure acts as a passive heatsink, helping remove heat from the enterprise NVMe SSD without a cooling fan. This keeps operation quiet while supporting sustained workloads.
The drive measures approximately 5.1 x 3.25 x 0.75 inches, allowing very high-capacity enterprise NVMe storage to fit neatly into studio desks, mobile carts and production cases.
The drive is supplied formatted for macOS and can be reformatted for Windows. Both USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A cables are included for connection to suitable hosts.
Glyph provides three years of full hardware coverage, two years of Level-1 data recovery and one year of advance replacement.
