RXT-150 and RXT Media Overview
The RXT-150 is based on RAID eXchangeable TeraPack, or RXT
TM
technology. The
RXT-150 provides the RAID controller that writes to and reads from a portable media
pack, that you’ve loaded into the drive. The pack is composed of multiple SATA disks
in a sturdy enclosure. The RXT media pack arrives set to the RAID level specified when
the pack was ordered. For a brief review of RAID, refer to
RAID Overview
on page 40.
