Exactly!

Some company (maybe Firestore?) is working on an external hard-drive to
overcome the P2-cards.

I respectfully tend to disagree :) But for a reason. I shoot and edit, and
sometimes while editing, you just can't find the right performance of a bit
on all the "print"-takes, and find useful things in the "NG"-takes. Or
maybe the way in which a word is said, is better in an "NG"-take. Therefor
if it was me, or if I was later to edit something, shot on a camera like
this, I would ask for not to simply delete the bad takes, but save them as
well. It has helped me many times :-)
