Makes sense to me. One of the other caveats for what we're looking at, is that I guess the RD1000 now comes with a SAS connector, as well, for the external box, so that would also make it a permanent drive, which would be good. >>> Jonathan Link 3/22/2010 3:32 PM >>> erg. Meant to include: Min

I don't think the RDX would change like a USB drive. It's much like any removable media drive, the drive has a letter, and is waiting for media to be inserted. On Mon, Mar 22, 2010 at 6:26 PM, Joseph Heaton wrote: > Interesting info on the RD1000. I'm hoping they've improved a bit over the > las

Have it. I use robocopy to backup to these, and having the media treated like just another drive makes file restoration very simple. Works about as well as a USB drive from a speed perspective. Ejecting cartridges is simple. Cartridges themselves are expensive. Any RDX cartridge will work, you
