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.
