FAQs

What is the maximum sustained transfer speed?

The Glyph Atom PRO External NVMe SSD V2 offers up to 3000 MB/s of sustained transfer speed.

Does this drive work with USB-C ports that are not Thunderbolt 3?

The drive uses a USB Type-C connector but requires a Thunderbolt 3 port to function at its advertised speeds and to operate correctly. It will not work with standard USB-C ports lacking Thunderbolt 3 support.

What makes this SSD rugged?

It is MIL-STD 810F certified, meaning it is designed to withstand shock, vibration, dust, and sand, making it suitable for demanding environments.

How does the drive stay cool?

The rugged aluminum shell doubles as a heatsink, passively dissipating heat from the NVMe SSD to maintain optimal operating temperatures and sustained performance.

What operating systems are supported?

The Glyph Atom PRO is compatible with both Windows and macOS operating systems.

What type of SSD technology does it use?

It uses NVMe SSD technology, which is significantly faster than traditional SATA SSDs, especially when combined with Thunderbolt 3.

What is included with the drive?

The product includes the Glyph Atom PRO SSD and a Thunderbolt 3 cable.

Troubleshooting

Drive not recognized by computer

Ensure the Thunderbolt 3 cable is securely connected to both the drive and a Thunderbolt 3 port on your computer. Try a different Thunderbolt 3 port or cable. Restart your computer. Check if Thunderbolt drivers are up to date.

Slow transfer speeds

Verify you are connected to a Thunderbolt 3 port. Ensure the Thunderbolt 3 cable is fully functional. Close other demanding applications that might be using system resources. Check the drive's health using disk utility tools.

Drive disconnects unexpectedly

Check the Thunderbolt 3 cable connection for looseness. Ensure your computer's power settings are not causing the port to power down. Update Thunderbolt drivers and firmware on your computer. Avoid significant physical shocks to the drive while in use.

Overheating during heavy use

While designed for thermal management, prolonged extreme use might increase temperature. Ensure the aluminum shell is not obstructed. Allow the drive a brief period to cool down between intensive tasks if performance degrades.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional sustained transfer speeds for demanding creative workflows.
  • Robust build quality meeting MIL-STD 810F standards for durability.
  • Effective passive cooling system for consistent performance.
  • High bandwidth via Thunderbolt 3 connection.
  • Reputable brand with a long history of serving creative professionals.

Cons

  • Requires a Thunderbolt 3 port for maximum speed, limiting compatibility with older devices.
  • Higher price point compared to standard external HDDs or SATA SSDs.
  • 2TB capacity may be insufficient for very large, long-term archival projects for some users.
  • No backward compatibility with USB-A ports at full speed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect the Glyph Atom PRO to your computer using the included Thunderbolt 3 cable.
  2. Ensure your computer has a Thunderbolt 3 port.
  3. The drive should be automatically recognized by your operating system. If not, check disk management tools.

Compatibility:

  • Operating Systems: Supports both macOS and Windows operating systems.
  • Ports: Requires a Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C connector) port for optimal performance. While it uses a USB Type-C connector, it will not function at full Thunderbolt speeds or at all with standard USB-C ports that do not support Thunderbolt.

Care:

  • Avoid exposing the drive to extreme temperatures or moisture.
  • Keep the aluminum casing clean using a dry or slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure the Thunderbolt 3 cable is securely connected at both ends.
  • Regularly back up critical data, even from reliable storage devices.
