The Quantum RDX 320GB Media Cartridge (MR032-A01A) is a removable RDX data cartridge that contains a rugged 2.5-inch mobile hard drive in a shock-resistant enclosure. It’s designed for backup/rotation and offsite storage—combining “tape-like” removability with disk-style random access—and is interchangeable with RDX docks (including RD1000-compatible docks).
