About the Glyph Density Test
The "Density Test" is a collection of Glyph's proprietary Pro Tools test sessions that determine how many audio tracks a Glyph drive can reliably handle. It can run at 48k, 96k, and 192k, and has four levels of edit intensity. Although the tests are Pro Tools-based, the results closely predict performance with other DAW applications. When reading the results, remember that all testing is done with a freshly formatted hard drive, unless otherwise noted. Hard drives are fastest when they are nearly empty, so expect decreased performance when it starts to fill with data.
