The GT 103™ is fast, rock solid, and runs cool. A standard in audio recording.

GT 103 racks can be found in the world's top studios where they are used for recording, file transfer, backup and archiving. Today's music production environments demand hundreds of tracks, tons of edits, all at high resolution sample rates. Your recording storage needs to be able to keep up. Specifically designed for production scenarios that require multiple drives, the GT 103 can be configured with three FireWire GT Key™ FireWire hot-swap drives in capacities up to 1TB each. The 1U enclosure features Glyph's integrity™ FireWire hot-swap interface, dual internal power supplies and fans.

Backward and Forward Compatibility

Older FireWire 400 GT Keys are forward-compatible with the new FireWire 800 enclosures, and the new FireWire 800 GT Keys are backward-compatible with all GT Series FireWire 400 enclosures. Compatibility is maintained because both versions use the same hot-swap technology, Glyph's integrity™ FireWire interface. Upgrading your studio to FireWire 800 can be seamless while you maintain your investment in FireWire 400 GT Keys.
