Backup storage and retrieval operations are extremely simple. Just insert the RDX cartridge into the high-speed docking station, and leave the rest to the host system. A drive letter will be assigned to the RDX cartridge, and then you can either drag/drop or copy/paste the data files. In a nutshell, the process is similar to backing up and retrieving data from a USB flash drive.

Data transfer speed of the RDX SATA docking station is faster than the USB model. RDX SATA dock achieves a transfer rate of 45MB/sec, and that of USB docking station is 25MB/sec. Now your stored data cannot be used maliciously, as Quantum RDX system features the reliable 256-bit encryption mechanism. So your sensitive business documents remain safe even if that cartridge is lost or misplaced, thus ensuring complete peace of mind. The economical cost per GB, cartridge removability, robust data security and seamless scalability are the major benefits which have made Quantum RDX the best-selling backup solution for growing businesses.
