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 !!

Regards

  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?
