Glyph started with the popular FireWire 400 PortaGig and upgraded it with two FireWire 800 ports, a fast internal SATA II drive, Oxford 934 chip, and a rear power switch. They've also upgraded the warranty to three years and included coverage under Glyph's Overnight Advance Replacement policy. This tiny bus-powered portable hard drive weighs less than 10 ounces, but is powerful enough to support high track-count audio sessions, and has been tested and approved with Digidesign Pro Tools. Designed with a fanless, light aluminum enclosure, the Glyph PortaGig 800 hard drive allows you to work on the road easily and reliably, and with 160GB of space it can easily back-up your largest sessions. Should bus power not be available or is insufficient, you can use the included power supply.

Speeds and Performance
The 7,200 RPM drives have slightly higher performance than the 5,400 RPM drives. All models of the PortaGig 800 perform well in an audio environment, however the 7,200 RPM models have slightly higher track count due to their higher transfer rates.

USB and Bus Power
The Glyph Portagig 800 hard drive comes with a USB "Y" cable — one end connects to the pocket drive and two ends can be connected to the computer. In some situations, a single USB port will not supply enough USB bus power for the PortaGig 800, and two computer USB ports are needed. Due to differing bus power specs, the safest choice is to use the Glyph PortaGig 800 with the included DC power supply.
