The Glyph Blackbox PRO RAID 60TB Thunderbolt 3 2-Bay Desktop RAID Drive (BBPR60RDTB3) is a hardware RAID storage unit with two 7,200 RPM enterprise-class drives, built for editors, colorists, and post-production teams who need large, fast, local capacity.
It connects over Thunderbolt 3 at 40Gb/s, adds a DisplayPort output for a 4K monitor, and passes up to 550 MB/s of sustained transfer speed to your workstation. RAID 0, RAID 1, JBOD, and SPAN are set in hardware, so no software is needed.
A rugged removable cover protects the aluminum chassis, an intelligent quiet fan handles cooling, and the unit runs from an external power supply. This is the standard model without the card reader hub.
Glyph Blackbox PRO RAID BBPR60RDTB3 Features
- 60TB from two enterprise drives. Retail listings describe this model as two 30TB, 7,200 RPM enterprise-class hard drives. Striped as RAID 0 you get the full 60TB for camera originals, proxies, and project archives that would overrun a single smaller drive.
- Dual Thunderbolt 3 ports at 40Gb. Two Thunderbolt 3 ports let you connect the drive to your computer and keep going with the next device. Glyph says you can daisy-chain up to 5 additional devices through a single cable, which keeps a desk or cart tidy.
- Built-in DisplayPort output. The rear DisplayPort lets you plug in a 4K monitor directly to the drive. That frees a port on a laptop that has only one or two Thunderbolt connections, which suits edit bays built around a single cable to the computer.
- Hardware RAID 0, RAID 1, JBOD, and SPAN. RAID modes are handled by the drive with no software required. Choose RAID 0 for speed and full capacity, or RAID 1 for a mirrored copy. Mirroring uses half the raw capacity, so plan your usable space first.
- Up to 550 MB/s transfer speed. The rated speed is high enough for multi-stream editing of common camera codecs and for fast offloads and backups. Real throughput depends on the RAID mode, the file sizes, and your computer, so treat 550 MB/s as the ceiling.
- Rugged shell and removable cover. The aluminum shell doubles as a heatsink, and a rugged removable cover wraps the unit for travel and location work. Take the cover off on a quiet desk, or leave it on when the drive moves between the studio and the field.
- Intelligent quiet fan. A temperature-aware fan sits on the rear panel and keeps the drives cool during long copies and renders. Quieter running matters in an edit suite or voiceover room, although a spinning RAID will always make some drive noise.
- Mac-ready, Windows by reformat. The drive ships formatted for macOS and is Time Machine ready. It works with Windows after you reformat it, which erases the contents, so decide your platform before you load footage. A 3-2-1 warranty adds data recovery cover.
Where the BBPR60RDTB3 Fits
Post-production suites: Hold camera originals, proxies, and finished projects on one 60TB volume next to your edit workstation, with a DisplayPort connection for the reference monitor.
Live and broadcast production: Use the rugged cover and Thunderbolt 3 connection for show recording, replay libraries, and fast turnaround of event footage between control rooms.
Houses of worship and corporate video teams: Keep a season of services, town halls, and training videos in a single mirrored or striped volume for editors on Mac systems.
Backup and archive: Run RAID 1 for a mirrored copy, or use Time Machine on a Mac when you need a large local backup target.
