RDX® QuikStor

Tandberg Data, a leading global supplier of backup and archiving technologies, today announced the general availability of the internal RDX QuikStor with a USB connection, enabling customers to free up SATA ports for use with internal RAID configurations, and allowing simple integration without requiring a HBA. Tandberg Data is also one of the first vendors to launch the 300GB RDX® QuikStor™ cartridge.

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 300GB of capacity, the RDX QuikStor is an ideal replacement to entry-level tape drives such as DAT and Travan. The RDX closely follows the development of mobile hard disks. The 300GB 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. It’s well-defined product roadmap provides full backward and forward compatibility. The RDX QuikStor offers users investment protection whilst providing secure, fast and simple backup and archiving of their data.
