Glyph Technology PortaGig 62 1TB Portable Hard Drive with RAID Review
Glyph Technology PortaGig 62 1TB Portable Hard Drive with RAID Feature
PortaGig 62 is modeled after it's powerful big brother the GT 062E, and offers large capacity in a tiny footprint. A built-in fan keeps the two internal drives cool while Glyph Manager software constantly monitors the drive and enclosure health, notifying you if there is a problem. Bus-powered with FireWire 800, the PortaGig 62 also includes USB and eSATA ports for optimum compatibility, allowing you to easily work on the road with a reliable RAID. eSATA is not a bus-powered interface. However, you can use the eSATA connection for fast data transfer (up to 177MB/s) while simultaneously using the FireWire 800 connection to power the drive. An external power supply is included with the PortaGig 62 if bus power is not available or is insufficient.
