The Glyph Blackbox PRO RAID USB 60TB is a two-drive desktop hardware RAID built with enterprise-class 7,200rpm hard drives and a USB-C 10Gbps interface. Glyph specifies transfer speeds up to 550MB/s for demanding creative and high-capacity storage workflows.
The enclosure ships configured as RAID 0 and also supports RAID 1, JBOD/CLEAR and SPAN/BIG without RAID management software. RAID 1 provides mirrored redundancy with half the raw capacity, while RAID 0 prioritises throughput and does not provide redundancy.

The Glyph Blackbox PRO RAID USB 60TB is a dual-drive desktop RAID system built for professional video, photography, audio and data workflows that need high-capacity enterprise-class storage with flexible hardware RAID.
Two 7,200rpm enterprise-class hard drives are managed by the enclosure's hardware RAID controller, with RAID 0, RAID 1, JBOD/CLEAR and SPAN/BIG modes available without software. The unit ships configured as RAID 0.
Blackbox PRO RAID uses two enterprise-class 7,200rpm hard drives in a rugged desktop enclosure. The dual-drive design provides the flexibility to prioritise performance, redundancy or independent/spanned disk use depending on the selected RAID mode.
RAID 0 stripes data across both drives for maximum throughput but provides no redundancy. RAID 1 mirrors data across both drives for resilience at the cost of half the raw capacity. CLEAR/JBOD mounts the two drives independently, while BIG/SPAN combines them into one logical volume by filling one disk before continuing onto the second.
The USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 interface provides up to 10Gbps link bandwidth, with Glyph specifying transfer performance up to 550MB/s. The interface is compatible with USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt 3 hosts, subject to host limitations.
RAID mode is controlled by the enclosure hardware. Glyph's user guide documents a rear-panel mode selector and SET procedure, so the storage mode can be changed without installing RAID management software. Changing RAID mode erases existing data and therefore requires a backup first.
This BBPR60000RAIDEU configuration is supplied without the optional integrated media hub. Glyph also offers separate Blackbox PRO RAID configurations with CFast 2.0, SD UHS-II and USB Type-A hub connectivity; those ports are not fitted to this SKU.
An intelligent quiet fan manages airflow through the dual-drive enclosure during sustained operation. The system uses an external power supply and includes both USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A cables.
Blackbox PRO RAID is supplied formatted for macOS and can be reformatted for Windows. Glyph's manual includes Windows and macOS formatting guidance as well as RAID-mode setup instructions.
Glyph backs Blackbox PRO RAID with three years of full hardware coverage, two years of Level-1 data recovery and one year of advance replacement.
