Robust as it gets.

PortaGig SSD has a distinct advantage over standard 2.5” HDDs since it's made of solid-state memory and has no moving parts, and therefore eliminates the possibility of mechanical failure resulting from vibration, shock, and heat. In remote production situations, this means your PortaGig SSD can operate reliably for more hours, in hotter environments, and under rougher conditions.

Quiet and Green.

Absolutely no noise is generated from the PortaGig SSD, and much less power is needed for operation, which means less heat is generated as well. This also provides substantial weight savings.

Performance in an audio environment.

PortaGig SSD drives have extremely fast access speeds, making them a perfect match for remote audio and video work. In an audio environment, you'll experience ridiculous playback performance, even at high edit density. Using our Digidesign Pro Tools™ test sessions, (playback only) we were hard pressed to find the limits of the PortaGig SSD. Just to compare, our PortaGig 800 (using a 7,200RPM HDD) can reliably play 26 tracks of 48 KHz/24-bit audio, with 3 edits/second across every track. The PortaGig SSD can play 128 tracks in this scenario, hitting the limit of our test session. That's more than 100 tracks higher than our standard PortaGig 800, at the hardest edit density. While playback performance is off the charts, Glyph continues to recommend HDD versions to achieve high recording track counts. The PortaGig SSD can record up to 40 tracks of 48 KHz/24-bit audio simultaneously, while the PortaGig 800 (using a 7,200RPM HDD) can record up to 80 tracks simultaneously.

Connectivity

Designed with a fanless, aluminum enclosure, PortaGig SSD is bus powered and extremely light. If bus power is not available or is insufficient, you can use the included power supply. Weighing 8 ounces, it has two FireWire 800 ports and one USB 2.0 port, a rear power switch, and is designed around the industry-proven Oxford 934 chip.

Long Life

Built-in ECC (Error Correction Code) functionality ensures highly reliable data transfer, while wear leveling technology redirects writes to lesser-used locations, ensuring a longer life span and data-retention.

The Warranty

The best warranty in the industry includes a 3 Year Full Warranty, 2 Years of Free Level I Data Recovery, and 1 Year of Free Overnight Advance Replacement.
