Magnetic media controller transfer rates
The following table identifies the theoretical transfer rates of IBM Eserver i5 and
iSeries media controllers. Refer to appropriate benchmarks for an accurate
representation of performance capabilities. The following two guides should be
referenced for benchmark information: iSeries Performance Capabilities
Reference, SC41-0607 and iSeries in Storage Area Networks, SG246220.
External storage DVD-RAM
This section describes select external storage DVD-RAM devices supported by
the current iSeries product line.
IBM 7210 Model 025 External DVD-RAM Drive
The IBM 7210 External DVD-RAM drive provides data
interchange capability in support of LPAR configurations for
iSeries. DVD-RAM is an optical technology that advances the
capabilities that CD-ROM brings to the iSeries. You can use
DVD-RAM on iSeries servers to help lower costs associated with:
