"In a 2-flash system with a HDD could a movie file be transferred from the HDD to the second, and larger, flash for immediate use (viewing) so the HDD could go back to sleep?

Sorry if I misunderstood your response."

That is pretty much my comment, I did not not comment on the HDD sequence ...I figured I did not have to. For the most part it's asleep in my consideration.

To do this the second flash would have to be quite large...packing in compressed multi media content. You would not want to be loading large file content to the flash continuously. You would want the most current large file content.

The eVu as a rental type device, folks will want to see and play with it as much as they can. Half movies, music,...etc. Unless there's really interesting content, they're going to be more intrigued with the device than the content and push buttons...that's what I'd be doing.
