Product Information

Full details

The Tandberg Data RDX QuikStor (8782-RDX) is a professional-grade removable storage system designed for SOHOs and small-to-medium businesses needing a reliable solution for backups, data archiving, and disaster recovery. It bridges the gap between the portability of tape drives and the speed of modern hard disk technology, providing a rugged interface for RDX cartridges. While it is an exceptionally durable storage device with high MTBF ratings, users should note that it requires specific RDX media to function, which may be an additional ongoing investment compared to standard external hard drives.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does the RDX QuikStor require external power?

Can I use this drive on a Mac?

The RDX QuikStor supports Mac OS; ensure you check for the latest drivers from the manufacturer website.

Is this drive ruggedized for travel?

The RDX cartridges themselves are rugged and designed for transport, though the dock should be treated as a stationary desktop component.

How often should I rotate the RDX media?

For best backup practices, rotate media on a weekly or daily basis to ensure offsite copies of your data are always available.

Does it support Windows Server?

Yes, it is fully compatible with Windows Server versions from 2003 through 2012 R2.

Troubleshooting

Drive not detected by operating system

Verify the USB connection is secure and check the Device Manager to see if the RDX driver needs an update.

Cartridge fails to eject

Ensure no backup software or file explorer window is actively accessing the media; use the software 'Eject' command.

Slow transfer speeds

Ensure the device is connected to a high-speed USB port; check for background tasks consuming disk bandwidth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the RDX QuikStor, simply connect the device via the USB interface to your host computer or server.
