The GT Key is a unique hot-swappable drive with a high-performance Seagate SATA disk inside with an integrated FireWire 800 bridge. It's become an industry standard for moving content in audio and video production environments. The GT Key 800 is interchangeable among the GT 051, GT 103, GT 205, and GT 308 FireWire enclosures.
The Fast Key
• Fully hot-swappable using Glyph's proprietary integrity™ FireWire 800 interface, the GT Key800 is interchangeable among the GT 051, GT 103, GT 205, and GT 308 FireWire enclosures.
High Quality Storage Mechanism
• The GT Key uses 7,200 and 5,900 RPM Seagate drives with Oxford's 924 chip, and performs at bus speeds roughly double that of FireWire 400. Seagate's SATA drives incorporate Native Command Queuing (NCQ), an algorithm that reschedules and reorders commands, improving drive efficiency. In an audio environment, NCQ can improve the number of audio tracks that can be played, often by as much as 15% over PATA drives using FireWire 400.
Design Details
• The GT Key800 is constructed with stainless steel fully surrounding the drive. It features a Key Lock on the front handle, and is vented for front to back air flow.
Backward and Forward Compatibility
• FireWire 800 GT Keys are backward-compatible with all GT Series FireWire 400 enclosures because both versions use the same hot-swap technology, Glyph's integrity™ FireWire interface. Additionally, older FireWire 400 GT Keys are forward-compatible with FireWire 800 versions of the GT 051 tabletop hot-swap enclosure, and the GT 103 three-bay single-space rack. Upgrading your studio to FireWire 800 can be seamless while you maintain your investment in FireWire 400 GT Keys.
Portable & Protected
• The GT Key ships in a hard-shell protective carrying case, so transporting your Keys between sites can be stress-free knowing that your drives are protected.
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.
