Glyph's Integrity FireWire Hot-Swap
The GT Series incorporates Glyph's own advanced FireWire
technology called Integrity™. Inspired by the limitations of existing
hybrid ATA-to-FireWire hot-swap products, Glyph engineers resolved
the data integrity problems that arise from breaking at the ATA
interface by incorporating unique enhancements to existing FireWire
standards. As a result, the GT Key drive cartridge contains the
ATA-to-FireWire bridging technology in the cartridge itself. When
removing a hard drive from the receiver, the drive and its bridge
remain together to support hard drive hot-swapping in the proper
way—using circuits and protocols that are intended for hot-swap
applications. The GT Series sets new standards as Glyph's Integrity™
technology surpasses today's other hot-swappable storage.
About the GT Key
The GT Key is at the heart of the GT Series. Fully hot-swappable using
Glyph's proprietary Integrity™ FireWire interface, you can easily
shuttle content to other GT Series enclosures with the 7,200 RPM GT
Key. Utilizing a high-performance hard drive and Glyph's tri-laminate
sound-damping technology, a GT Key is not only fast, but it's quiet
too.
Integrity™ is an advanced FireWire hot-swap interface that provides
greater reliability than existing hybrid to ATA-to-FireWire products.
This offers true hard drive hot-swap technology, ensuring data
integrity and consistency: removing a hot-swap drive from a Glyph
FireWire system interrupts the data signal at the FireWire bus, not on
the ATA bus as with other hot-swap systems.
