Glyph Production Technologies is best known for their high-performance storage solutions, tailored for creative professionals, and their Atom EX series of portable NVMe SSDs – the EX20 and the EX40 – is one of their tentpole product lines. Featuring high read/write speeds, storage capacities of up to 8TB, and a rugged design that keeps the internals cool, the Atom EX series are reliable pieces of equipment in any production environment.

At Cine Gear Expo 2026, Glyph unveiled the latest addition to this dynasty: the Atom EX80. It’s an update that attendees were eager to get their hands on, representing a massive leap forward in both speed and thermal efficiency. By addressing the punishing data demands of modern cinema cameras, the EX80 ensures that on-set DITs and creators can offload footage faster than ever without worrying about throttling.

The Atom EX80 lives up to the company’s reputation of high-performance storage, touting up to 7,000 MB/s in read/write speeds, nearly doubling the EX40, which already excelled at handling the most demanding of footage, including 8K/12k and RAW media, as well as supporting VR and multicam workflows. With productions always scaling up, Glyph ensures its presence in the filmmaking and content creation space remains future proof and ready to take on any project, regardless of scope.

However, the new headlining feature of the EX80 is its tracking capabilities. In fast-paced, highly-mobile environments, keeping track of inventory is more important than ever. While Apple AirTags and other consumer trackers have been making the rounds these past five years, Glyph keeps things simple and efficient by having the technology baked into the hardware. Compatible with Apple’s “Find My” system on iOS and MacOS, setup is simple and intuitive. You hold down a button on top of the device, and with a few little chimes, it appears on your phone.

The EX80 also features magnetism in its rugged design, allowing users to mount the device to any magnetic surface, from iPhones and MacBook laptops, to metallic workbenches. It helps keep the creative space organized while ensuring the drive is always within reach As with the rest of the Atom EX line, the EX80 comes with a USB4 Type-C to C 30cm cable, powered by SteadyIO.

From its massive pipeline capacity for 12K RAW workflows to the simple peace of mind of a built-in tracker, the Atom EX80 sets a new benchmark for portable NVMe drives. Glyph has successfully taken their tentpole line and made it faster, more versatile, and significantly harder to lose in the bottom of a camera bag. For creative professionals looking to streamline their mobile pipeline, the EX80 is a powerhouse built to keep up with the toughest demands of the modern set.
