GoVault™ for Windows

Quick Start Guide 

The Quantum internal GoVault for Windows, model QR 1201, and external 

GoVault Tabletop for Windows, model QR 1202, are cost-effective, high-

performance data protection solutions. Quantum’s removable disk 

technology, the Ruggedized Disk Cartridge (RDC), referred to in this 

document as the cartridge, together with the GoVault dock, serve as a two-

component data storage system.
Each GoVault dock allows the cartridge to be hot plugged and available to 

the host Windows operating system and includes an LED indicator for 

power and activity status.

The Internal GoVault Dock: 

• Attaches to the computer through a Serial ATA interface and is SATA II 

compliant at SATA 1.5 Gbytes/sec. speeds.

• Is compatible with SATA-equipped motherboards and SATA PCI host 

bus adapters. See the Quantum web page 

www.quantum.com

 for the 

latest list of SATA PCI adapters that are compatible with the Quantum 

GoVault.

The External GoVault Tabletop Dock: 

• Attaches to the computer through a Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 

interface.

• Has a Serial ATA (SATA) I/O port for interfacing with the removable 

disk cartridge.

The Cartridge:

• Is a durable, removable disk that can withstand a one-meter drop to a 

hard surface and has an interconnection with the carrier that is rated at 

5,000 insertions. 

• Capacity varies from 40, 80, 120, and 160 Gbytes.

• Provides long-term safe data storage for up to 10 years.

• Has a write-protect switch to guard against accidental data overwrite.
