Zaxcom Fusion

This is how Zaxcom describes Fusion:

Fusion Accomplishes Its Low Weight And Power Efficiency By Eliminating The Use Of A Hard Drive. This Has The Added Benefit Of Removing Concerns Of Hard Drive Damage From Extreme Temperatures Or Motion. The System Instead Records To Two Compact flash Cards simultaneously, Ensuring 100 Percent Solid State Recording That Provides Both Redundancy And Flexibility. For Fault-Tolerant Recording, The Fusion Records To One Card In The Mobile Audio Recording Format (Marf), Which Allows Audio To Be Recovered Even If Power Is Lost During Recording. Simultaneously, Fusion Records A Redundant Copy Of The Audio Files In The Fat32 Format To The Second Compactflash Card, Creating An Easy Way For The Post-Production Team To Have Immediate, Portable Access To The Files.
