I can't speak for the rest but Gemini decks have little to no buffer at all. You might squeeze two years of service out of it if you're lucky.

G Guest Guest Nov 25, 2008 #6 The Denons can be controlled by the HC4500, as well, is that correct? I will soon have the controller, and might consider adding the drives, as another form of backup, if it's cost-effective. How much are they, roughly? Tim: I replied to you "over there" as well.

G Guest Guest Nov 25, 2008 #8 If anyone sees a bargain on the drives, let me know. They're not a "must have" for me, but might be cool to have.
