Glyph PortaGig 50 SSD
PortaGig SSD drives have instant access speeds, making them a perfect solution to remote audio and video work. In an audio environment, you’ll experience ridiculous track counts, even at high edit density. Using our Digidesign Pro Tools™ test sessions, 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 back 26 tracks of 48 KHz/24-bit audio, with 3 edits/second across every track. The PortaGig SSD was able to play 128 tracks in this scenario, hitting the limit of our test session, and would easily play more. That’s over 100 tracks higher than our standard PortaGig 800, at the hardest edit density!
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.
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.
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.
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.
