RE: IBM i Now Supports USB Flash Drives

It's an optical file system, just like the RDX which was announced a few months back.

If you have USB availability, why can't you then attached external
drives for offline backup, etc? I can get a 4tb WD external for a few
hundred bucks...should be LOTS faster than tape and not to mention
CHEAPER! :)

Holy cow! Brain is spinning....

Today, IBM is adding support to use USB Flash Drives as a second type
of RMS technology. Flash drives can hold as much data as multiple
DVDs and can typically access the data much faster. This allows a
much more convenient way to move data (either IFS or save data) to
another machine. IBM does not qualify nor recommended any particular
device, but typical USB 2.0 devices from 2 to 32GB have been used in
our

testing.
