The Glyph PortaGig 50 external hard drive builds
on the success of the PortaGig 800, and adds a couple cool new features.
Bus-powered with FireWire 800 or USB for optimum compatibility, the
PortaGig 50 includes an eSATA port to give you up to 100MB/s, super-fast
performance. While eSATA is not a bus-powered interface, you can use
the eSATA connection for data transfer while simultaneously using the
FireWire 800 connection to power the drive. Glyph includes an external
power supply with the PortaGig 50 just in case bus power is not
available.
Despite it's tiny footprint, the PortaGig 50 drive
supports high-track count audio sessions and bandwidth-intensive video.
The hard drive's included Glyph Manager software constantly monitors the
drive and enclosure health, notifying you if there is a problem,
allowing you to work on the road easily and reliably.
