The 7210 Model 25 is flexible, supporting
synchronous and asynchronous data transfer
and accommodates both 12 cm and 8 cm disks.
The Model 025 reads multi-session disks, CD-recordable disks, and CD-RW
disks. DVD disk capacities of 2.6 GB, 4.7 GB, 5.2 GB, and 9.4 GB are supported.
The IBM 7210 External DVD-RAM Drive enhances the function and capabilities
of the iSeries.
The capacity of the DVD media is over seven times larger than CD-ROM.
Software that may have been distributed on multiple CDs may now need only one
DVD-RAM cartridge, reducing the cost of media. The 7210-025 can be used as
an alternate IPL device. The 7210 Model 025 is not supported by BRMS
(5722-BR1).

IBM 7210 Model 030 External DVD-RAM Drive
The high-performance IBM 7210 External
DVD-RAM drive provides data interchange
capability in support of LPAR
configurations for Eserver i5 and iSeries
servers. DVD-RAM is an optical
technology that advances the capabilities
that CD-ROM brings to the Eserver i5
and iSeries servers. You can use
DVD-RAM on Eserver i5 and iSeries
servers to help lower costs associated
