Naked Trip
This rack-mount
enclosure is the
ultimate in
scalability, with
4 open hot-swap
receivers available
for drives in trays.
We can configure with Naked Trip with Narrow,Ultra Wide
or Ultra 160 receivers, it’s your choice.
Note: Naked Enclosures do not include cables or terminators,
that's why they’re called “Naked”.
SCSI Drives
When you need a full solution in a single
enclosure Glyph has the best Trip for you.
The industry-standard, thousands of today’s
most successful audio and video projects
were created with a Trip. They offer
“Monster Truck” storage with removable
technology and your choice of standard
configurations. Power switch and SCSI ID selection switches are conveniently available on the front of the units and all Trip
configurations include the necessary cables and termination.
SCSI provides significantly faster data transfer than Firewire and allows for the connection of up to 15 peripheral devices.
The high speed and reliability of SCSI has made it the standard interface in audio and video production.
Host Bus Adapters
Host bus adapters, or HBAs, are
necessary when connecting a
peripheral to a computer that
doesn’t have native support for
that peripheral’s interface.Glyph
offers HBAs from ATTO and
Adaptec Technology to support
all major operating systems,
with various connection
interfaces and speeds.

AUDIO STORAGE GUIDE
In multi-track audio there are generally numerous data files for each
track, especially with punch-ins and edits. The rotational speed of the
platters directly affects the number of audio tracks you can achieve
because of the time taken for the drive to find and process the various
files. Files are written to the different sectors across the platter, over the
course of your project these files become non-contiguous, resulting in
drive fragmentation. The heads move back and forth across the platters
to write and read the scattered data. Because of the time it takes for the
data to pass underneath the heads, drives with slower spindle speeds
like 7,200 RPM take longer to access each file than drives with speeds of
10,000 and 15,000 RPM. Audio applications are very demanding on
drives since small delays in the delivery of requested files results in play-
back errors. Faster speeds yield extra audio tracks with more edits. This
is also why that bargain price 5,400 RPM drive is useless for your DAW.
