My Glyph drive failed after one year of moderate usage. I have returned it to the vendor and it has gone to Glyph for ATTEMPTED data recovery, estimated time line of two weeks. This drive failed sooner than any external drive I have used in eight years. I can't comment yet on warranty service, but for a drive twice as expensive as other drives of the same capacity I should not need to find out. The ventilation system fan noise is more noticeable than other drives, and clearly did little to prevent the drive from failing. My advice: buy two drives for this price from another manufacturer and back up to the second drive after every work session.
