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-toFireWire 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.
