Glyph PortaGig

We started with our hugely popular FireWire 400 PortaGig and upgraded it with two FireWire 800 ports, a fast internal SATA II drive, Oxford 934 chip, and a rear power switch. We've also upgraded the warranty to three years and included coverage under Glyph's Overnight Advance Replacement policy. This tiny bus-powered hard drive weighs less than 10 ounces, but is powerful enough to support high track-count audio sessions, and has been tested and approved with Digidesign Pro Tools. Designed with a fanless, light aluminum enclosure, it allows you to work on the road easily and reliably. If bus power is not available or is insufficient, you can use the included power supply.

 

Speeds and Performance

PortaGig 800 drives are available in 7,200 and 5,400 RPM models. All models of the PortaGig 800 perform well in an audio environment, however the 7,200 RPM models have slightly higher track count compared to the 5,400 RPM models due to their higher transfer rates.

USB and Bus Power

The included USB cable is a "Y" cable: one end connects to the drive and two ends can be connected to the computer. In some situations, a single USB port will not supply enough USB bus power for the PortaGig 800, and two computer USB ports are needed. Due to differing bus power specs, the safest choice is to use the PortaGig 800 with the included DC power supply. Additionally, the DC power supply should be used with PortaGig 800 in capacities of 200GB or higher.

Features

  • Up to 320GB in a tiny enclosure
  • 7,200 RPM and 5,400 RPM models available
  • Seagate SATA II drives used exclusively
  • Weighs less than 10 Ounces
  • Tested and approved with Digidesign Pro ToolsT to support over 55 tracks of 24bit / 48k audio, with edits
  • Small, portable, aluminum case runs quietly with fanless design
  • Applications: Field recording, moving audio, video, graphics, and prepress files
  • Includes universal power supply
  • Includes carrying sleeve

Analog tape

I'm not sure what is going on but our call volume on open reel analog tape has picked up dramatically recently.  This is great news for all the loyal analog users and the RMGI factory in The Netherlands. 

 

The guys at RMGI USA are working hard to keep product on the shelves in the U.S.; it takes a little more effort since the product comes from the other side of the world.  

SM900 is the tape of choice for most of our users but SM911 is still a popular choice too.  We don't see much of the 468 business but it is definitely out there.  

EncoreDataProducts.com offers Free Shipping on all our analog tape.  Some formats are available in single reels while others ship in case lots.

Gold DVD & CD single discs

We have had a lot of requests for single discs of archival gold CD-R and DVD-R media.  Encore Data Products now offers archival gold CD & DVD media by MAM-A in quantities as small as single pieces.

The discs are packed in thin plastic "clam shell" cases for protection during shipping.  We used to offer small amounts of gold media in video Amaray cases but due to disc movement during shipping we dropped those products...too much of a rough ride during transit.

Prices drop as you order more and right now you can get a FREE pack of CD/DVD markers with any purchase of the single-packaged discs in quantities of 25 or more.  Shipping is FREE.

We also feature the Archival Gold Blu-ray discs by Delkin.  These are the top-op-the line in blu-ray media.

Avastor SDX Hard Drives

So you need a hard drive for your music, photos or other multimedia project and your budget was blown on that great piece of outboard gear...fear not!  The Avastor SDX series of hard drives has a price point about the same or better than those consumer drives you can find; with Avastor you will get a better drive for your buck.

Here is what Avastor says:

SDX SATA/FireWire/USB External Hard Drive

The SDX is a full featured family of portable external hard drives that offer superior performance and reliability at extremely competitive pricing. The SDX feature set is unmatched in its price range.

Power Means Performance

The SDX power adapter supplies a healthy 3 amps of power for both 5 and 12 VDC to the internal drive mechanism. Many power supplies offer less current than needed by the hard drive, which can reduce performance. Performance can also be lost over the long run of thin wires between the drive and the adapter. The SDX AC adapter uses extra heavy gauge wire as well as a 4 pin connector with oversized pins for 5VDC, 12VDC plus 2 ground pins to insure maximum connectivity and performance.

SATA Means Speed

Power users working with digital video, audio, or graphics production need all the speed they can get. The SDX 1000 meets the challenge, with transfer rates up to five times faster than FireWire and USB 2.0. eSATA technology offers 3Gb/s performance in a single drive configuration for data intensive applications including real time video editing, digital photography and high-speed data back up.

Oxford Chip Technology Means Compatibility

There is only one choice for the bridge chipset, which converts the hard disk drive SATA data to FireWire data - the Oxford Semiconductor chipset.  Only the Oxford chipset assures unprecedented performance and compatibility across the wide variety of computer platforms and FireWire devices. At Avastor, we only use the Oxford Semiconductor chipset in every FireWire enclosure we ship.

 

Avastor offers both the HDX and SDX series of drives; you will find the perfect drive to meet your needs and budget!

Wax Poetics

I have been purchasing music long enough to remember the fan club information printed on the record sleeves of my Jackson Five albums.  I was 6.   Pretty cool but I did not have much interest in Michael or Tito heart shaped stickers.  Later on I would spend hours reading all the liner notes and eventually covered my Clemson dorm room (more of a tin prison) with record flats.   I miss those; wish I had kept The Alarm or U2 flats at least.

These days buying music has changed and I put tons of tracks on my iPhone and I still like to order CDs.  Regarding buying music...Encore Data Products will be running an ad in Wax Poetics Magazine soon.  After reviewing a sample mag we figured to give it a shot since the readers obviously enjoy a variety of artists.  Our pro AV hard drives are ideal for music producers, engineers and artists.

Check out the Wax Poetics music store for a very WIDE variety of music:
