The actiDisk RDX solution includes a rugged and removable 2.5" hard disk drive cartridge and a docking station with USB and SATA connections. Offering complete data protection, RDX removable hard disk drive cartridges are available in 160GB, 320GB, 500GB and 640GB capacities, the 750GB and 1 TB cartridges are the latest additions to the actiDisk range. The docking station and the cartridges are forward and backward compatible.

"The actiDisk  RDX solution with the 1 TB cartridge is a further step to replacing tape technology in the SMB market and with the actiNAS Cube, actidata is in the leading position to supply a new, cost-efficient and innovative solution for the SMB market" said Gudmundur Einarsson, CEO of actidata. "With actiDisk RDX, users leverage the benefits of speed, instant access and reliability of a disk combined with the ruggedness, removability, and off-site storage capabilities of tape. Now, with a full terabyte of capacity and complete forward and backward compatibility between cartridges and docking station, actiDisk RDX is ideal for SMBs that have to keep up with ever-increasing data storage requirements."

With the integration of the actiDisk RDX technology into the actiNAS Cube RDX, actidata offers tape and NAS. Until now, nothing has been able to match tape backup in its removability for off-site safe keeping. Now actiNAS Cube RDX combines the benefits of removability cartridge with high performance and random access disk. The actiNAS Cube RDX offers that and up to 10 TB storage capacity, with automatic backup to the removable cartridge.
