I am somewhat surprised at the 20G drive. I didn't even know they made those anymore. The Masterlink (from 1999?) came with a 40G drive and, even at 24/48, it was considered woefully small.

I am curious to know how fast you eat up a drive at 5.6M sampling. What's the record length in stereo of that 20G drive? I assume larger drives will be optional. Is there a way to record via USB to an external drive or array without having to swap the drives? I think that would be critical if you are serious about uses for live recording gigs.

I'm not trying to be a trouble maker here, just raising issues here that others will certainly raise when the units ultimately hit the market.

Also, there is no mention of media for the MR1. Flash memory would be assumed. Is that correct? Or can it record to external media as well?

Please know that I am genuinely interested.
