One can get silly with hard drive storage these days. My last archive drive was 500GB and cost about £90, but the audio drive in this computer is a whopping 80GB. Sound ridiculous? Not really - a 5 minute song of 24 tracks only takes up 1.2GB tops. More importantly, having a smaller drive FORCES you to backup the drive after every session, which means there will always be a copy taken away in case the unthinkable happens.
