Notes:

Hard drives

Manufacturers are continually changing hard drive sizes as the price continues to drop so sizes are not listed above.
Most models above now have a 20 gig or bigger drive.

Backup

Figure 5 meg a mono minute at 16 bit of recording time for drive space used and 7.5 meg a mono minute for 24 bit recording
Most models above with CD burners will backup recordings as well as mixer settings, automation, effects settings, etc. so you can go back a year later and have little adjustments to make to change your songs

24 bit versus 16 bit recording

- For live instruments and vocals, 24 bit will achieve noticeably better results. However, if you are recording electric guitars, bass, drum machines, keyboards,.. 16 bit is fine and its usually not worth the extra dollars to go to 24 bit.
