It would be sweet if it did.

Flash memory

Why?

Why?

Just thinking like computers. If that could be updated, perhaps it could be a benefit with regard to storage, speed, etc. But I am completely satisfied and love FAS and my FM3. It just seemed cool.

For hard drives the question is not if they fail, but when they will fail.
For this purpose flash memory makes so much more sense.

I'd worry about reliability, right or wrong or superstition

lol my response was about to be "try the new DS-1 for a hard clipping drive pedal". Maybe a NVMe mod for my DS-1 will make me shred faster...

Most of the good hard drives are SSD or even flash memory like Apple/Samsung. I wouldn't consider the old hard drives.

Why?

Was wondering if any of the parts inside could wear out sooner than later.

Yea thankyou for the answer, Thats what i was wondering so its flash. I like to build pcs and didnt want to try and take the fm3 apart to find it out.

I understand. But my question wasn't to you.

Sure, if you’re willing to put up with disk crashes caused by physical shock. Imagine a laptop from five or ten years ago, when they all had disk drives, only it was always used on the floor and was stepped on regularly. Even one with a rugged case would end up with the drive being the most fragile part and disk crashes would be the most common complaint.

No thanks.

Wear out? Yes, of course, eventually. Even electronics eventually wear out but the odds of it happening during your lifetime are small. It’s more likely you will upgrade to something well before that happens. The only moving parts are the fan and switches.

Fractal’s devices are over-engineered for reliability.

At least, it has a SSD drive in drive block ^^
