FAQs

What does the 3-2-1 warranty cover?

It includes three years of hardware protection, two years of Level-1 data recovery services, and one year of advanced replacement for total peace of mind.

Is the EX40 compatible with Macs and PCs?

Yes, the drive is natively compatible with both macOS and Windows environments once formatted to the desired file system.

Can I use this with a Thunderbolt 3 port?

Absolutely; the drive is fully backward compatible with Thunderbolt 3, 4, and 5 ports.

Do I need to install special software for health monitoring?

While the drive functions as plug-and-play, installing Glyph's monitoring utility is recommended for real-time health alerts.

Is the drive waterproof?

While the EX40 is MIL-Standard 810F rated for shock, vibration, and dust, it is not certified as waterproof.

Troubleshooting

Drive not detected by computer

Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the drive and the host port, and try a different port or cable to rule out connection faults.

Transfer speeds lower than advertised

Verify that your computer port supports USB4 or Thunderbolt specifications; speeds will default to the lowest common denominator if plugged into older USB 3.0 ports.

Drive becomes very hot during file transfer

The aluminum shell acts as a heat sink and is designed to get warm to the touch to protect internal components; ensure it is placed on a flat, non-insulating surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Sustained transfer speeds up to 4,000 MB/s
Rugged aluminum build provides excellent heat dissipation
MIL-Standard 810F rated for field reliability
Comprehensive 3-2-1 warranty including data recovery
Broad compatibility with Thunderbolt and USB legacy ports

Cons

Premium pricing reflects its professional-grade focus
Maximum speeds require a compatible USB4 host port
Heavier and bulkier than entry-level plastic SSDs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the maximum rated speeds, ensure you are connecting the EX40 to a host device equipped with a USB4 or Thunderbolt 4/5 port using the provided high-quality cable. If using older hardware, the drive will automatically negotiate the maximum speed available for USB 3.1 or 3.0 protocols. When transporting the drive, keep it in a padded compartment to prevent excessive cosmetic scuffing to the aluminum shell. While the drive is MIL-Standard 810F rated, always use the provided composite bumper for maximum impact protection. Regularly check the drive health via your operating system’s disk utility or Glyph's proprietary monitoring software to ensure optimal longevity.
