How to use

Install the drive on a flat surface and connect it to a host using a compatible USB 3.x cable. Insert a supported RDX cartridge until it clicks into place and allow the host operating system to recognise the device. Use standard backup or imaging software to write data to the cartridge, then eject the cartridge when the transfer completes. For restore or interchange, insert the cartridge into the drive on the destination system and follow your software procedures.

Recommendations

Use certified RDX cartridges and follow a rotation scheme for offsite retention. Keep cartridges in protective cases when transporting, maintain firmware and host drivers up to date, and verify backups periodically to ensure recoverability.
