"My interests in technology and music results in my trying a lot of different equipment. Ultimately we use Glyph storage because it just works. Glyph's FireWire systems enable us to transition smoothly between the road and the studio."
David Haynes
Drummer, engineer, producer, and satisfied Glyph user.
"I just love my Glyph GT 051. I'm not that computer savvy, so it's great to have a hard drive that's reliable. It's rack-mountable and sturdy and you can swap cartridges when one is full. Great job guys!"
Dick Maitland, C.A.S.
10x Emmy award-winning Sesame Street sound designer, owns eight Glyph GT 050Q drives.
"When my LaCie drives failed and LaCie wouldn't help me, I switched all my drives to Glyph. At the speed and level of the work that I do, I need to know that my storage is rock solid. Glyph gives you that peace of mind, and eSATA too!"
Todd Lampe, Aaron Niemann of ILIO
Production Manager and Head of Tech Support for ILIO, a premium digital instruments distributor.
"We had a hard drive (another brand that is very popular and cheap) that contained several hundred GB of data that we needed access to on a consistent basis. When it decided to crash on us, we were not able to recover the data on our own. Glyph was more than willing to help us retrieve that data in a timely and efficient manner. They were incredibly helpful, professional and restored all of the files completely. We are using several Glyph drives now and will never use another brand."

Here's an email we recently received from Justin at Sweetwater, "I had a 500 Gig Glyph GT series drive crash last week and I wanted to let you guys know how much I appreciate how you've taken care of the issue. I emailed the generic "tech@glyphtech.com" and received a call back within 10 minutes. I sent the drive in earlier this week and received a call today letting me know they successfully retrieved my data and corrected the problem with my drive. Not only that, but I was asked if I needed the drive rushed back, or if standard ground would be okay. That's way above and beyond my expectations and I'm extremely happy with your swift service. THANKS AGAIN GLYPH!!!"

Production Manager, Mix Engineer, Recording Engineer, and Glyph user.
"For Kelly Clarkson's 2005 US tour we used Digidesign's Venue console with Pro Tools HD. We needed to record 64 tracks for an hour and a half at almost every show. After looking at all of the available solutions, we decided that the Glyph GT 103 was the clear winner for our storage requirements. We opted for two 103's, the first for the main record target, the second for the backup duties the next day. We spread 64 tracks across the 3 drive bays, and recorded 60 shows with zero incident of failure or errors! The GT 103's flawless performance over those three months speaks volumes for the bulletproof reliability Glyph builds into their products. If you can't afford downtime, when it comes to storage, there is clearly only one choice - Glyph."

"I've been relying on Glyph racks for years and they continue to perform beyond my expectations. The new GT 205 is the perfect configuration for my studio: A solution for recording, backup and archiving all in the same rack."
Russ Long
Nashville-based producer, engineer, studio owner, and contributor to Pro Audio Review.
"Choosing the right hard drive is a critical step in today's recording process. After recording to hard discs for over a decade, Glyph is the company that I trust with my critical audio above all others. I've been using the Glyph 100GB PortaGig drive since its release in early 2006 and its performance never ceases to amaze me. Several months ago I used it while mixing a 60+ track Pro Tools project recorded at 96kHz (while running on bus power) and it never even hiccupped."

Luke recently wrote us an email: "I don't know if you're accustomed to receiving fan-mail, but I just had to say: Thank you for inventing the GT 205. At last my facility's storage needs are addressed in a practical, affordable, infinitely- expandable way. You're the best!"
GrandMixer DXT
Musician, turntablist, engineer, producer, audio restoration specialist, innovator
GrandMixer DXT recently restored a long lost Thelonious Monk Quartet With John Coltrane show recorded in 1957 at Carnegie Hall. The tape was transferred at DXT's Transfer Master studio, using Pro Tools HD hardware and software, onto a Glyph GT 103 with three 80GB GT Key hard drives. The tape was only allowed to be rewound twice, with one pass being recorded at 192k and the second at 88.2k. The data was recorded to one GT Key drive and then immediately copied to the other two drives for backup. The backup drives were separated for an off-site backup of the precious material. Here's the full interview
Douglas Genuard, D & E Entertainment
Musician, engineer, business owner, Glyph convert
When his LaCie drives failed and LaCie wouldn't help him retrieve the data, Doug called Glyph and we were able to help him. "When both my LaCie drives went kaput within a month period, Glyph was there to the rescue saving about ten thousand dollars worth of my sample library and more! From this moment on I'll use nothing but Glyph drives. Thanks! -Douglas"
John Lennon Educational Tourbus
Jeff Sobel, Chief Engineer
"When we rebuilt the Lennon Bus' studios and moved to a DAW based system in 2003 (previously the Bus recorded to DA-88s and then spent a brief time with a Tascam MX-2424) we knew that the reliability of the hard drives we would use would be the most important factor in the success of the new recording paradigm. Glyph was our first choice for hard drive storage because of their unparalleled reputation for both performance and reliability. We were extremely pleased Glyph chose to be a sponsor of the Lennon Bus. Since that time we have used Glyph GT 308 Firewire Storage Systems in both studios with about a dozen GT Key hard drives to share between them. This allows us to record all of our student workshop and professional artist productions on hard drives specifically designed for high end audio and video production and gives us the added advantage of being able to swap GT Key drives between studios for easy portability when a project moves from one studio to the other, or even outside of the Bus thanks to the GT 051 desktop drive units (which also utilize the GT Key system). We also have dozens of tabletop GT 050 and GT 050Q drives that we use for student laptop work and project backup. After three years on the road producing hundreds of student and professional artists' music and video projects one thing is obvious: Glyph drives are built to be both quiet enough to earn their place inside professional recording studios as well as solid enough to withstand 60,000 miles of bumpy highway travel a year without a single hard drive crash. That's performance anyone would be impressed with."
