Hi to all

Recently i'm playing with a rdx cartbridge that mount a sata disk model toshiba mk1059gsm
Taking a look to toshiba web page i can see that it's a normal hdd with a modified firmware for rdx use. Somebody have the original firmware for the disk?? I'm trying to convert the rdx in a normal disk othertime

Regards

What is with these cartridges that have a HDD inside? I got a new Dell Server with some RD1000 Cartridges. The RDX seem to be compatible with this system.

I did read something about these when I first got the server, but time and not wanting to mess with a production server hindered that.

If I get some time I will try and find the small amount I found on hacking these drives
