Glyph Announces Dual Hot-Swappable FireWire Solution Specifically for Audio

Ithaca, NY - Glyph Technologies today announced immediate availability of its new 1U Series Dual FWHS™ - a single-space FireWire storage solution with two hot-swappable hard drives for audio professionals. The rack mountable 1U Dual FWHS provides fast, reliable high capacity storage with the ease and functionality of a FireWire interface. The sleek new brushed steel design is a handsome way to add as much as 240GB to your studio rack.

The Dual FWHS can be outfitted with varying capacity hard drives, it ships standard with two 40GB drive capacities. It is also available with 80GB or 120GB capacities. Glyph has fully optimized the Dual FWHS for audio with their focus on the power, cooling, interface and packaging systems all designed and engineered for maximum performance in professional production environments.

Digidesign has specified the Oxford 911 chip for use with their systems. The new bridge boards also means that the Dual FWHS is S.M.A.R.T. ready. S.M.A.R.T.
