The GPT50 uses an industry-standard power cord and pro-quality internal power supply for the most efficient and reliable power source possible. - Keeping your data safe - The GPT50 boasts new features designed to keep your data safe. The intelligent power switch must be held for 3 seconds to power off the drive, guarding against unintended power-off. The multifunction LED shows drive power, activity, and also warns of a failing hard drive. ## Images ![Glyph Technologies GPT50 Portable Hard Drive (1TB) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51un98ZymWL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent craftsmanship and provides a very solid warranty *by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2016* The gold standard in data back up. Excellent craftsmanship and provides a very solid warranty. The special winning feature is that you may actually power up your computer from this external drive. Great for use in conjunction with a more portable drive using the time machine application. This does require purchase (and cost based updates) of a proprietary software. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast, reliable drive *by G***D on Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2013* I use this drive as a backup for my iMac using Carbon Copy Cloner. A friend who works in the movie industry first introduced me to Glyph drives a few years ago because of their reliability and solid construction. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality build and reliable data storage *by W***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2012* Great quality build and reliable data storage. It even coms in a nice plastic carrying case that isn't pretty but safely transports the drive and seems waterproof too! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/3061536-glyph-technologies-gpt50-portable-hard-drive-1tb](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/3061536-glyph-technologies-gpt50-portable-hard-drive-1tb) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
