How to install Overland Tandberg RDX QuikStor External drive kit with 1TB HDD, USB3+

• Unpack the external drive kit and confirm that the 1TB HDD is securely installed in the enclosure. Inspect USB cables for damage and have a compatible USB 3.0 port available on your computer.

• Power on your computer (if needed) and allow the operating system to detect the new external drive. You may be prompted to initialize or format the drive depending on your OS and existing configurations.
• If you plan to use RDX cartridges, insert a compatible RDX cartridge into the drive’s media slot following the audible click and alignment indicators. Ensure the cartridge is properly seated before initiating any backup or restore operation.
• Configure your backup or archival software to target the external RDX QuikStor drive. You can use native OS backup tools or your preferred third-party software to schedule backups, perform incremental runs, and set retention policies.
• Test a restore operation to verify data integrity. Practice restoring a small, non-critical file first to ensure the workflow is correctly configured and your data is recoverable in case of real-world need.
