Re: USB Hard Drive

Hello, Jake:

Well, if you happen to have an Integrated x-Series Server (IXS) card, 
(the Intel Pentium on a board that plugs inside the iSeries), it has USB 
slots, so you can plug in external USB disks ($99 per terabyte, lately). 
Then, you could do your back-ups to "virtual tape" or to save files, and 
then copy those files from the IFS or save files to the QNTC file 
system.  You could do the same with the Integrated x-Series Adapter 
(IXA) connecting via High-Speed Loop (HSL) to stand-alone x-Series server.

And I imagine you could do something similar via iSCSI for x-Series 
servers or blades, to utilize the less costly PC disk storage.

Cheers,
