Freedom to move with the GT 051.

The GT 051 is included

with the purchase of the GT 308 and

accepts the same GT Key drives. Imagine being able to record in

the studio, pull the GT Key drive and take it home to mix the

record there. 

What sets this system apart

from all other “Hot-Swap

FireWire” products is that Glyph uses its proprietary Integrity™

hot-swap interface in the GT Series. When a GT Key is removed

from the bay, the disconnect happens at a FireWire level. FireWire

was designed to allow the removal and insertion of devices,

whereas ATA was not. Glyph’s Integrity™ FireWire hot-swap

interface provides greater reliability than existing hybrid ATA-to-

FireWire products.

Focused on keeping your studio quiet,

GT Key and GT

Series enclosures incorporate sound-dampening metal in their

inner-frames. This composite metal technology absorbs drive

vibration and reduces unwanted noise.
