Updated:The enclosure has big flaw, it doesn't power down properly after safely removing USB. After unplug USB cable, for SSD, SMART records unexpected power shutdown; for HDD, a mechanical squeaking noise can be heard. No other enclosure i have has this problem.

Rubber sleeve has two footing that are stackable.* The drive inside is WD blue SSD WDS200T2B0A* The frame holding the SSD with 4 screws is plastic, it is one piece to the cover side.* Control chip of USB-C is ASM235CM.* two cables included are one foot long.

I got this Glyph external hard drive after I lost all of my files and photos on two Western Digital external hard drives. I was hesitant about the getting it because of the cost, but seeing that it had an SSD in it, was fast, rugged and made in the USA, I went for it. I have a laptop with Windows, so I had to to call them to figure out to format it, since it comes formatted for Macs. They answered the call quickly, spoke English, since they’re headquartered in NY, and stayed with me until I was sure I got it formatted correctly. I copied over thousands of pictures in very few minutes, which I liked, and was super quiet. So far it’s working great! I think with the SSD in it, I won’t have the issue of losing pictures, but time will tell.

You know what's annoying? Having a little message pop up in the upper right hand corner of your computer every 5 minutes saying "Glyph was not ejected properly". The cable connecting the disks is faulty, and any time I even breath on it my computer thinks it's been improperly ejected even though it's still very much plugged into my mac. I bought this product because it had an overwhelming amount of positive reviews I can't imagine I just happened to have got the only faulty cable...makes me wonder if there's something shady going on with this company and their reviews...

For Mac use only. This item is mis advertised in a grand style. Do not buy for windows.

It is working great, I use it for recording with protools. Prior to getting this drive my old drive was getting speed errors during playback of my sessions. Have not had any since going to the Blackbox Plus.

Love it. I run Pro-Tools sessions out of this drive and it’s lighting fast! I have the 1TB and it does very well.

I love Glyph drives. Always reliable, constant high speeds, and very durable. My go-to for on-the-go data storage.

Very durable, USB C, External hard drive. We are using it for additional storage for a small small camera system DVR. Works flawlessly

I've installed Windows natively on this drive to use on my MacBook, and so far I'm happy with it's performance.
