Media:
Solid state recorders use a combination of internal (HDD) and external (removeable) media. Typically this will be widely available Compact Flash (CF) Cards or MicroDrives. Some units also have an additional slot for full sized PCMCIA cards or MicroDrives. An internal HDD will give additional space and may allow for files to be simultaneously recorded to both internal and external media. However internal media cannot be removed for downloading.
 

General notes:

Recording capacity is determined by the size of the available media and the audio compression selected. For more details please see our Recording capacity guide
