Features
The IBM RDX drives have the following features:
Affordable capacity: 160 GB, 320 GB, and 500 GB disk cartridges.
Simplicity: With only the native OS, RDX provides random access to data and the convenience of
drag-and-drop functionality through persistent drive letter access. It can also be addressed like
traditional removable tape media, when used in conjunction with any of the supported backup
applications.
Flexibility: Internal and external RDX installation alternatives.
Plug-and-Play connectivity: USB 2.0 interface for increased ease of use.
Inexpensive performance: USB sustained transfer rate of up to 25 MBps.
Portability and durability: RDX disk cartridges are shock-resistant, rugged, and removable for safely
transporting offsite. Each is ruggedized to withstand a drop from up to 0.9 meters (36 in.) without
damage.
Investment protection: Carrier will support next generation capacities of cartridges.
Effortless ordering: Internal and external single-cartridge bundles by capacity; additional cartridges
can be ordered separately.
Includes Yosemite Backup Basic with Disaster Recovery, a powerful and intuitive backup application.
Secure: Cartridges can be password protected and software encrypted for extra security.
