Agreed, RFS is a file system of sorts so yeay would agree that that is 
solid state read only storage, and it is removable and will keep it's 
contents if removed, unless you take special steps to erase it. Even 
more so if mounted in a cart as on the Master/Electron plus one.

Maybe if it has a filesystem on it, but I wouldn't class
standard SWR as storage.
