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.

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
