life of this connector. This physical advantage means that the RDX cartridge is specified to handle
more than 5,000 load/unload actions, giving the RDX media a usage life span that is more than 50
times that of tape media.
Affordability
The progression of tape drives and media is well known. To take advantage of storage capacity
advancements, you must purchase new tape drives and new media. The RDX system has no
system obsolescence! RDX features both backward and forward compatibility. Each year as
higher-capacity cartridges are introduced they will work with your existing RDX drive. This means
that all RDX systems are usable with all RDX media, now and into the future. For your budget, this
means that the simplicity of the RDX design allows for a very low initial cost and a superior total
cost of ownership when compared to any tape products.
Backing Up Disk Volumes with RDX
With the typical incremental backups used by tape users because of tape’s slow transfer rate
performance, recovery of an entire backed up disk volume requires the time-consuming process of
going through every piece of tape media that has been used in the backup process. And if the
backup catalog is somehow contaminated, it can only be recreated by a time-consuming search of
every piece of affected media. Even with an intact catalog, finding a targeted file requires a slow
serial search of the correct tape cartridge.
RDX cartridges are available in capacities ranging from 40 GB to 160 GB (native). High native
storage capacity combined with the RDX drive’s 100 GB/hour speed means full backups can be
performed every day in much less time than it takes to do incremental backups to tape.
RDX drives automatically keep track of how many times a cartridge has been loaded. This saves
the user from the tedious task of keeping track of how many times each cartridge has been used,
especially in complex media rotation systems.
