CVR/DFDR Data Storage

Hi All,

Reading your comments on CVR/DFDR data storage capability triggered an obvious question, not directly related to this event: In our high tech, electronic world with unbelievably huge, lightweight, super-fast data storage devices why on earth an advanced "electronic" aircraft has this two hour limit on voice storage???? Just to log a couple of voice tracks from the cockpit. Ridiculous!
(I could recall many events/accidents in recent aviation history where this limiatation was a negative factor in the investigation process.)

Cheers,
