BOULDER, Colo. – June 2, 2008 — ProStor Systems, the leading developer of removable disk storage systems, today announced a capacity increase for the market-leading RDX® removable disk to 500 GB native capacity. This is a 67% increase in capacity over the 300 GB removable disk cartridge, the previous capacity leader. The new 500 GB RDX removable disk cartridge will be available from Imation and Tandberg Data as well as their respective OEMs.
"As the de facto industry standard for removable disk, RDX solutions provide users with a safe, fast, easy-to-use storage choice that is also the best value for the money," said Buzz Walker, vice president of marketing and product management.
With a current installed base of more than 75,000 end users worldwide, RDX back up and data retention solutions have captured 90 percent of the removable disk market for business server and workstation backup. RDX solutions are compatible with most popular backup software, including EMC Retrospect, Symantec Backup Exec, Yosemite Backup, CommVault Galaxy and CA ARCserve software. RDX disk cartridges have been proven to have a data retention life of at least 30 years and are the best choice for long-term preservation of digital data.
Unlike tape drives which introduce incompatibility with each new generation and require the purchase of a new system, RDX docks and cartridge capacities are fully compatible and interchangeable. Users protect their technology investment simply by choosing the RDX disk cartridge capacities, ranging from 80 GB to 500 GB, which suit their specific applications.
