The FireWire 800 GT Key™ is here!
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. The new FW800 GT Key uses 7,200
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 existing PATA drives using FireWire 400.
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.
GT Key800 is available in a range of capacities from 160GB to 1TB. They
ship in a protective carrying case that includes anti-static foam
padding with a hard plastic outside shell, which allows GT Key drives
to be stored and transported safely.
