With the latest USB4 connectivity, speeds up to 4,000 MB/s, increased thermal capacity, and real time integrated health monitoring, Atom EX40 delivers the highest levels of sustained performance and reliability, keeping pace with your high-res video, photo and audio editing needs.
Next-Gen USB4 Speed
Atom EX40 has blistering performance with up to 4,000 MB/s read and write speeds. Great for 8K/12K, RAW photo and video, VR and Multicam workflows.
Rugged and Travel Safe
Designed to endure the elements with MIL-Standard 810F rating for shock, vibration, and dust resistance. Aluminum exo-skeleton with soft composite bumper keeps your files secure and surrounding gear safe.

Solid aluminum core and outer shell allow EX40 to remove significantly more heat from the internal components. Allowing for higher sustained speeds and increased reliability.

Production-Grade Storage
Glyph has been in the storage game for over 32 years and trusted by creative professionals around the globe. Whether you are a filmmaker, photographer, or aspiring music producer, you can trust Glyph when it matters most.
High-intensity SSD
These drives are built for real production environments. Long takes, large files, continuous writes, and deadlines that don't pause for thermal throttling. When you're dumping cards on set, backing up a full day of footage, or working directly off an external drive, performance isn't about a momentary burst. It's about whether your SSD can maintain speed hour after hour, terabyte after terabyte. That's what high-intensity SSDs means: sustained performance under sustained pressure.
Comprehensive Warranty
Every Glyph drive comes with Glyph's industry leading 3-2-1 warranty. Three years of full hardware coverage, including the cables. Two years of Level-1 data recovery, and one year of advanced replacement.
