Now Offering Glyph External Drives!

While Puget Systems has historically focused on workstations, we understand that the computer itself is only one part of your total workflow setup. The computer may do most of the heavy lifting, but it is no good on its own without a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and effective storage solution. As a part of our goal to provide a complete solution, we have recently partnered with Glyph Tehchnologies to offer their robust and reliable external drives to our customers.

Why Glyph?

There are a number of different external drive manufacturers we could have partnered with, but Glyph stood out to us. While they are primarily known in the content creation space, their reliable products, excellent customer service, and exceptional warranty makes their drives a great choice for almost any workflow. Not only that, but their wide product line offers single-disk drives, two disk RAID, and even four disk RAID configurations which covers most user's direct attached storage needs.

More than anything else, however, was that their goals are very similar to our own – to provide a quality product with excellent customer service.

Glyph 3-2-1 Warranty

No matter how reliable a product, there is always the chance for something to break. If you happen to be unlucky and find yourself with a misbehaving Glyph drive, however, they have an excellent warranty that they call their "3-2-1 Warranty Policy". What this warranty offers is:

  • 1 year advance replacement – If the drive fails within the first year of purchase, Glyph will ship you a replacement drive without requiring the original drive to arrive at their facility first.
  • 2 year level 1 data recovery – While data recovery is not guaranteed (which is why you should always have a backup!), Glyph will attempt to recover the data on a failed drive for the first two years of purchase.
  • 3 year hardware warranty – While only the first year offers advance replacement, for three years from the time of purchase Glyph will repair or replace the drive.

More details on Glyph's warranty can be found on their warranty page.
