HPE Q2046A RDX 2 TB Cartridge
The HPE Q2046A is a 2 TB removable disk cartridge built for the RDX platform. It fits a 2.5 inch form factor and spins at 5400 rpm. The cartridge is designed for desktop internal bays and weighs approximately 15.17 oz. It suits users who need portable, rugged storage for backup or archiving tasks.
RDX Dock Dependency and 5400 RPM Throughput
This cartridge requires an RDX dock or drive bay to operate; it has no native interface of its own. The 5400 rpm spindle speed limits sustained transfer rates compared to faster mechanical drives. Wireless LAN is not supported. The physical dimensions are 3.4 inches high, 8 inches wide and 5.3 inches deep, so the host bay must accommodate that envelope.
Upgrade from Tape or Fixed Internal Drives
The cartridge replaces tape cartridges or fixed internal hard drives when removable, offline media is preferred. It is not suited for buyers who need solid-state speeds, capacities beyond 2 TB, or a drive that operates without an RDX dock. The jump is worth it when portability and media rotation outweigh raw performance.

Kysymyksiä tästä tuotteesta
Should I choose the 2 TB cartridge or a different capacity for my backup needs?
The Q2046A provides exactly 2 TB of storage in a single removable cartridge. Select this capacity if your backup set fits within that limit; otherwise you will need additional cartridges.
What does the 5400 rpm spindle speed mean for actual backup and restore times?
At 5400 rpm the drive delivers typical mechanical hard drive throughput, so full 2 TB backups will take several hours while incremental runs complete in minutes depending on file count.
Which interface does the cartridge use and what does it limit in practice?
The cartridge slots into an RDX dock that handles the host connection; sustained transfer speed is bounded by the 5400 rpm mechanism and the dock's own host link.
