Introduction: The PowerVault RD1000 with USB 3.0
The Dell PowerVault RD1000 is a removable disk storage device which offers the data access speed of
storing data on a hard disk, the portability of optical media, and the physical protection of tape media.
The removable disk drive lets you quickly protect all your important information and take it with you.
Designed as a sensible, affordable alternative to tape and CD/DVD backup, the RD1000 is fast, user-
friendly, and reliable.
The latest update to the PowerVault RD1000, changes the game by replacing the USB 2.0 interface on
the external PowerVault RD1000 and PowerVault RD1000 114X versions with the next generation in
USB 3.0 storage interconnects and provides a significant boost in performance over USB 2.0.
At the heart of the RD1000 is the removable disk media that combines a tough exterior design and an
internal shock absorber — all rigorously tested to the highest standards. Simply pop in the removable
disk media, select the files or folders you want to protect, then drag-and-drop them into the directory
folder. To restore files, just reverse the process. Drag-and-drop capability gives you random access for
much quicker restoration of the files you need most. The RD1000 comes with everything you need to
protect data quickly and easily: drive unit, removable disk cartridge, and Symantec Backup Exec
QuickStart software.
