About the PortaGig 62
PortaGig 62 is modeled after it’s powerful big brother the PortaGig 62, and high-performance storage in a tiny footprint. With two
internal SATA drives available in 7,200 and 5,400 RPM, the PortaGig 62 supports RAID 0, RAID 1, and Spanning modes. A built-in
fan keeps the drives cool while Glyph Manager software constantly monitors the drive and enclosure health, notifying you if there
is a problem.
Ports
On the rear of the PortaGig 62 there are two FireWire 800 ports, one eSATA port, and a USB 2.0 port. Ocially, FireWire 800 ports
are IEEE 1394b ports that run at up to 800Mbits/sec. One of these ports should be connected to your computer, and the other
should be connected to other downstream FireWire devices. It doesn’t matter which port you connect to the computer, they are
functionally identical. If your computer has a FireWire 800 port, use the provided FireWire 800 9-pin cable. If your computer has a
FireWire 400 port only, you can use a FireWire 800 to FireWire 400 converter cable, available from Glyph (part# CAB-FW800-9/6-2).
If your computer doesn’t have any FireWire ports you will need to purchase a FireWire adapter card. Check the Glyph web site for
suggestions.
The fastest interface on the PortaGig 62 is the eSATA port. If you choose to connect your PortaGig 62 using eSATA, you will need an
eSATA port on your computer. Glyph sells various eSATA cards, please check the website for details. The PortaGig 62 does not ship
with an eSATA cable.
