Dan and anybody who is interested,
The Nagra V does not use removable hard discs, it uses the proprietry Orb Disc
as a storage medium. By the way I think your 99% is a bit high. Also I have
now been using the V for the last few months and the whole machine is working
impecably. And before anybody says it so it should !!

That's sort of what happened to Nagra! 30-year-old Nagras are
performing great today. Nagra judged DAT too unreliable for
professional use (true), and as a consequence of that integrity lost
99% of the film and TV market. Will recordists return to Nagra now
that they have the removable hard disk Nagra V?
