 Tandberg Data -supplier of backup and archiving solutions - has announced the general availability of its internal RDX QuikStor with a USB connection. The drive will enable customers to free up SATA ports for use with internal RAID configurations, and allowing simple integration without requiring a HBA.
Furthermore, Tandberg Data is one of the first vendors to supply the 300 GB RDX QuikStor cartridge.
Anyways the RDX QuikStor is a disk based removable storage system with portable cartridges that has been designed to offer rugged, reliable and convenient backup. 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.
“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 point offers customers a lower cost per Gigabyte, while still providing full forward and backward compatibility.”
RDX QuikStor cartridges range in capacity from 40 GB, 80 GB, 120 GB, 160 GB and 300 GB. They are fully forward and backward compatible without limitation, meaning that future cartridges with ever-increasing capacities and faster data rates will work in legacy systems.
The 300 GB cartridge for the RDX QuikStor is now available through Tandberg Data’s established channel of distribution and reseller partners. The manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) of the RDX QuikStor with a 300 GB cartridge including all necessary accessories and Symantec Backup Exec QS backup software is $699. The MSRP of the 300 GB cartridge is $499.
The prices of the RDX QuikStor start at $349 for a drive with a 40 GB cartridge. Cartridge prices start at $115 for 40 GB.
