Frequently Asked Questions - StorageWorks RDX1000 HP
What type of cartridge does the HP StorageWorks RDX1000 use?
The HP StorageWorks RDX1000 uses RDX removable hard disk cartridges. These are rugged, durable cartridges that function as external hard drives, available in capacities up to 1 TB.
How do I install the RDX1000 in my computer?
The RDX1000 is designed for a 5.25-inch internal drive bay. Connect it to your motherboard using a SATA data cable and a SATA power connector. Once installed, your operating system should detect it as a removable disk.
Can the RDX1000 be used with any operating system?
The RDX1000 is compatible with Windows, Linux, and macOS (via generic SATA drivers). However, HP provides backup software mostly for Windows. For other systems, you can use built-in backup tools for file operations.
How do I perform a backup using the RDX1000?
Insert an RDX cartridge, and use your preferred backup software. For HP QuickSync, select the RDX drive as the destination. It will automatically copy and protect your files. The cartridge appears as a normal storage drive.
What is the maximum storage capacity of the RDX1000?
The maximum capacity depends on the RDX cartridge used. The RDX1000 supports cartridges up to 1 TB. Higher-capacity cartridges are backward compatible, offering larger storage options.
How do I clean the RDX1000?
Use a dry, lint-free anti-static cloth to wipe the exterior. Gently clean the cartridge slot with a soft brush to remove dust. Avoid liquids and compressed air, which can damage internal components.
Is the RDX1000 hot-swappable?
Yes, the RDX1000 supports hot-swapping. You can remove and insert cartridges while the system is running. However, always ensure data transfer is complete and the device is safely ejected before removal.
What should I do if the RDX1000 is not recognized by my system?
First, verify that the SATA data and power cables are securely connected. Restart your computer. If it still isn't detected, check if the RDX1000 appears in the BIOS. If not, test it in another bay or try a different SATA cable. Also, ensure the RDX cartridge is fully inserted.
Can I use RDX cartridges with higher capacity than specified?
The RDX1000 supports all RDX cartridge capacities up to 1 TB. Newer or larger cartridges (above 1 TB) may not be recognized due to firmware limitations. Always check HP's compatibility list before upgrading.
How do I ensure the safety of my data?
Use the write-protect switch on the cartridge to prevent accidental overwrites. Regularly perform backups and store cartridges in a safe, dry place. The RDX cartridge is built to withstand drops, but handle with care.
