Glyph's PortaGig hard drive makes portable recording and editing easy.

With its tiny bus-powered enclosure, it's small enough to fit into a pocket, and powerful enough to support high track-count audio sessions. With FireWire 400 and USB 2.0 interfaces, PortaGig is compatible with Mac, Windows and Linux systems supporting FireWire or USB. Designed with a fanless, light aluminum enclosure, it allows you to work on the road easily and reliably. If bus power is not available or is insufficient, you can use the optional power supply. Weighs less than 10 ounces, tested and approved with Digidesign Pro Tools. Be sure to read the review in Pro Audio Review magazine.

PortaGig drives are now available in 7,200 and 5,400 RPM models. The 5,400 RPM drives are available in higher capacities, while the 7,200 RPM drives have slightly higher performance. All models of the PortaGig perform well in an audio environment, however the 7,200 RPM models have slightly higher track count compared to the 5,400 RPM models due to their higher transfer rates.
