Many small business customers have limited IT budget available for data protection with business owners
wanting to reduce IT capital and operational expenditure and protect IT investments to optimize business
profitability. The HP RDX Removable Disk Backup System provides a complete backup solution that has
low initial acquisition costs and low on-going media and upgrade costs.
Total cost of ownership is lowered by the fact that HP RDX Removable Disk Cartridges are specified for
5,000 insertion/removal cycles, so HP RDX Removable Disk Cartridges will not wear out (and therefore
need to be replaced) over the typical life cycle of the solution. Upgrade and obsolescence costs are also
reduced and investment protection guaranteed by the fact that HP RDX Removable Disk Backup System
docking stations are compatible with all current and future higher capacity HP RDX Removable Disk
Cartridges. Customers will not need to purchase a new docking station when next generation higher
capacity HP RDX Removable Disk Cartridges are released. Similarly, today's HP RDX Removable Disk
Cartridges are compatible with all current and future HP RDX docking stations. Customer's existing HP
RDX Removable Disk Cartridges will work with next generation HP RDX docking stations when they are
released.

To ensure complete data protection against all types of data loss - including on-site system/site
destruction or natural disaster - small businesses need the ability to remove their backup and archive
data off-site. The HP RDX Removable Disk Backup System provides a backup solution that enables on-
site backup data to be removed, stored and rotated off-site in an easy, safe and secure way.
HP RDX Removable Disk Cartridges are portable (palm size), durable (2.5 inch disk drive features
include ramp loading heads, fluid dynamic bearings, inactive state spin down) and rugged (designed
and proven to withstand a 3 feet (one meter drop) onto concrete). The robust HP RDX Removable Disk
Cartridge is also designed to protect data from potentially damaging Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and
as well as prolonged exposure to heat, dust and other environmental contaminants.

Many growing small businesses are experiencing storage capacity growth that is outstripping the
capacity/performance of current optical backup solutions. The HP RDX Removable Disk Backup System
provides a backup solution that scales easily as capacity needs grow. Adding capacity is a simple matter
of adding cartridges to an existing HP RDX Removable Disk Backup System USB docking station. The HP
RDX Removable Disk Backup System docking Station will work with all current as well future higher
capacity cartridges as they are introduced. The product's roadmap leverages the industry standard
mobile 2.5" hard disk drive roadmaps with new higher capacity cartridges expected to be introduced
regularly.
