I think it came out with the Power7+ or in that time frame anyway. I've had
one almost as long as I've had the P7 box and it works well.

Jim,
When did RDX backup devices get released ? Sounds interesting. I totally
missed that one.
I was just happy to add an LTO-2 drive to our older 515 recently :-)

It is very cool, but you are correct the internal device is much much faster
than the USB 2.0 device. A problem that is corrected with the USB 3.0 on
the P8 systems.
I have a USB 2.0 RDX unit but it's a bit sluggish for anything but data
transfer.
Yes, the save commands just work, a good thing.

This week I installed a new RDX SATA Internal Docking Station (EU07) into
our model 720. The only tool needed was a screwdriver - used to attach
simple plastic fasteners to the exterior of the docking station.
The kit included a cable with a couple connectors which attach to small
adapters on what I might call the motherboard of the system (backplane, or
whatever they call it).
The new device was automatically recognized and configured during the
subsequent IPL. The SATA interface seems to perform very well - some say it
performs better than USB 2.0.
I like how the SAV commands work. I like how they store the data on the
device. I like that one can display the directories and files using tools
like WRKLNK and SmartFTP. I like the capacity of the cartridges (up to 1.5
TB). I like that they are removable via an eject button or the RMVOPTCTG
command.
