FAQs
Does this drive work with USB-C ports?
It is physically compatible with USB-C, but it requires a Thunderbolt 3 connection to operate at full speed. It will not function correctly on non-Thunderbolt USB ports.
Is the drive bus-powered?
Yes, the Glyph Atom PRO is powered entirely through the Thunderbolt 3 connection from your host computer.
Can I use this for Time Machine or Windows backups?
Yes, it is highly recommended for backups due to its high speeds, which make full-system restores significantly faster.
Is the aluminium housing waterproof?
The housing is dust and sand resistant, but it is not rated as waterproof. Keep the device away from water and liquids.
Does the drive get hot during use?
The aluminium case acts as a heat sink. It is normal for the drive to feel warm to the touch during heavy data transfers as it dissipates heat away from the internal NVMe module.
Troubleshooting
Drive not detected by computer
Verify the Thunderbolt 3 cable is securely connected and that your computer port supports Thunderbolt 3 (a standard USB-C port may not be sufficient).
Slow transfer speeds
Ensure you are connected to a dedicated Thunderbolt 3 port and not a legacy USB 3.0/3.1 port or a non-powered USB hub.
Connection drops intermittently
Use the original cable provided by Glyph and ensure the drive is not sitting on top of other high-heat electronic equipment.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, connect the Atom PRO directly to a Thunderbolt 3 port on your workstation or laptop. This drive is formatted for professional environments; if you are switching between macOS and Windows, ensure the drive is formatted to a compatible file system such as exFAT. For physical care, while the unit is rated to MIL-STD 810F for shock and dust, avoid placing it in direct, high-intensity heat sources for extended periods. Always use the provided Thunderbolt 3 cable, as standard USB-C charging cables lack the necessary data bandwidth to achieve the advertised speed ratings.
