how to install Overland Tandberg RDX QuikStor External drive kit with 5TB HDD, USB3+

  • Unbox the kit and identify the external drive enclosure and USB 3.x data cable. Ensure you have a spare drive cartridge or cartridge compatibility if you plan to use multiple cartridges in rotation.

  • Power on the drive if the enclosure includes an independent power supply. If it is bus-powered via USB, simply connect and wait for the operating system to recognize the device.
  • On first use, the system may prompt you to initialize or format the drive. Choose the file system that best fits your environment (e.g., NTFS for Windows, HFS+ or exFAT for macOS, or use a dedicated backup format if your software requires it).
  • Open your preferred backup software or operating system backup utility and configure a backup plan. Select the RDX QuikStor drive as the destination, set your schedule, and start your first backup. When you’re ready for rotation, use the RDX cartridge mechanism to swap cartridges as you rotate offline copies for added protection.
