There are just now starting to appear drop in flash memory "disks" for
conventional hard drives. Very expensive but as always the price is
dropping and can be projected to be the storage device of the near
future.

Ipod type plug in devices are a form of this even now.

True, but this starts at terabyte increments.

Seems? Can we see where it says that the files are in memory?
I see this statement at the website: "All audio storage is mirrored,
ensuring zero downtime in the event of disk failure."

Sure seems like it is on disk.

If you dig a little into their web site, you'll find mention of storage
options in the terabyte range along with several statements about disk
backup. Terabytes of flash storage seem very unlikely. I believe their
statement about no moving parts applies specifically to the controller
hardware and software, not the music file storage.
