The Reformatted Raw Data (RRD) archive design of the SAX X-ray astronomy satellite is described. Its capabilities of fast, flexible storing and retrieving, and interpreting the nature of data, and the capability of copying the online RRD onto optical disk storage are described. The peculiarity of the SAX RRD arises from nonuniformity among data coming from several experiments. The RRD structure is organized such that it is capable of storing and retrieving high traffic data volume in almost real time. Five types of instruments are present on the SAX satellite and each one performs separate experiments in various operative modes and submodes. The transmitted scientific data have to be processed in quick look mode; thus, a high level performance design at the Operational Control Center (OCC) is required.
