The RDX QuikStor is a disk-based removable storage system with portable cartridges that offer rugged, reliable and convenient backup, ideal for the SMB market. It combines the benefits of tape reliability, portability, archive life, and low cost with the performance, speed, random access, and ease of use of hard disk technology. With 300 GB of capacity, the RDX QuikStor is an ideal replacement to entry-level tape drives like DAT and Travan.

The RDX closely follows the development of mobile hard disks. The 300 GB capacity (native), the largest ruggedized disk in its class, will allow customers with larger data sets to rapidly store their data on the RDX QuikStor. With its well-defined roadmap, a three-year warranty and full backward and forward compatibility, the RDX QuikStor offers users investment protection while providing a secure, fast, and easy-to-use backup and archiving solution for data.

Our customers have been asking us for an internal USB device, as they require enhanced flexibility when integrating the storage devices into their systems, says Pat Clarke, Executive vice president of Global Sales, Marketing and Service at Tandberg Data. The internal USB device makes for easier integration, and frees up SATA ports. The new capacity offers customers a lower cost per Gigabyte, while still providing full forward and backward compatibility.
