Big Blue to ship RDX removable drives

E

RDX? 

Do these drives have explosive performance?

Bringing a whole new meaning to the "harddisk going bang" 

Joke

I keep reading the headline as IBM to ship explosive removable drives. I wouldn't do so much percussive maintenance to old workstations and servers if the drives were made with RDX.

According to Wikipedia, RDX "burns rather than explodes and detonates only with a detonator, being unaffected even by small arms fire"

So if you want a hard drive that can hand a 9mm slug, this is just what you need.
