  • IBM Cuts Tags On Removable Disk, Tape For Power Systems

    May 5, 2014 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    As part of the April 28 announcements, IBM is trimming prices on various removable storage for its Power Systems line.

    The price cuts, which took effect immediately, are for removable disk drives, USB-attached disk drives, RDX units (a different kind of removable disk encased in cyberfuturistic metal casings), a few SAS-attached LTO tape drives, and a bunch of controllers. Here is the full rundown of the features and their price changes, which were outlined in announcement letter 314-048:
