[QUOTE="Donald P Leaman, post: 65907, member: 1762"] re: X32 Discussion Flash drive - no. BUT, I was able to capture a 3-hour show (stopping between sets) onto a WD Passport drive - it's bus powered, but powers up just fine and ran with no stops/skips, etc, like I experienced with a (el-cheapo) USB stick. Bear in mind, the drive was plugged into the top socket of the X32, and recorded the 2-bus mix. As far as recording DAW tracks to an external drive via a DAW (Reaper, for example) - should be no problem. I record to external drives all the time on location - sometimes eSATA, sometimes USB. It's all a matter of where you store the project and/or media. I'd try to stay away from trying to stream >2 channels to a USB thumb drive - to me, it just doesn't seem reliable, especially considering how cheap other spindle-based media is to use. If you are insistant on using media with no moving parts, I suppose you COULD try a small SSD drive in a bus-powered enclosure.... [/QUOTE]
