Overview

Triple docking station for GT key drives.

The Glyph GT 103 rack can be found in the world's top studios where they are used for recording, file transfer, backup and archiving. They support high track counts in all major digital audio workstation software, and allow you to capture virtually unlimited amounts of video with removable GT Key drives (sold separately). The GT Key is now available with up to 2TB using 7,200 RPM drives.

Glyph GT 103: Fast, Rock Solid, and Runs Cool
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 Glyph GT 103 can be configured with three FireWire GT Key FireWire hot-swap drives in capacities up to 2TB each.

Backward and Forward Compatibility
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.

Stylish Protective Enclosure
The Glyph GT 103 is constructed with a scratch-resistant black powder-coated aluminum chassis, as well as a unique 1/8" thick brushed stainless steel face plate. The aluminum chassis offers additional heat transfer properties while allowing the Glyph GT 103 to be lightweight.

Professional Power
Professionals know that high quality power is one of the most important components in any piece of equipment. Glyph uses dual internal power supplies in the GT 103, as well as dual fans. The power supplies are fully auto-switching for international use.

Front Panel Connectivity
The Glyph GT 103 Fire Wire 800 includes a front-panel FireWire 400 port which allows you to connect other legacy FireWire devices to your computer without having to climb around the back of your rack-mounted gear.

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 on GT Key drives.
