Five Drives in a 2U Rack - Compact yet
Powerful. Big Storage, Smaller Package.
The GT 205 is a double-space five-bay FireWire enclosure specifically designed
for applications requiring multiple drives. It can be configured with four GT
Key hot-swappable drives in any available capacities, and its SCSI/FireWire
expansion bay offers the option of AIT backup, a SCSI or FireWire hot-swap
receiving bay, DVD-R/RW or CD-R/RW. Using Integrity™, Glyph's proprietary
hot-swap technology, you can easily shuttle content to other GT Series
enclosures with the 7,200 RPM GT Key.  Integrity™ is an advanced FireWire
hot-swap interface that provides greater reliability than existing hybrid ATA-to-
FireWire products. Focused on keeping your studio quiet, GT Keys incorporate
sound-dampening metal in their frames. This composite metal technology
absorbs drive vibration and reduces unwanted noise. Glyph's GT 205 comes
standard with a three-year warranty, while GT Keys carry an additional
overnight advance replacement warranty in the first year.
