The 2024 Band-in-a-Box UltraPAK can be ordered on a hard drive. The hard drive is a small, very small solid state hard drive that is just a little larger than a USB thumb drive or memory stick.
Below is a photo of the solid state hard drive and shipping box I received. The box contains the hard drive, two USB cables that allow connection with both USB 2 and USB 3 computer ports and a welcome to Band-in-a-Box information card.
Musocity. Your likely right regarding the USB to M2 interface. I will be using the drive in multiple computers so I'll leave whatever is inside the case, inside the case. It's plenty fast as it is.
I was just looking at prices of the 2TB USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drives compared to the 2TB NVMe M2 USB 3.0 drives and there's not much difference in price, so I wonder if the Audiophile version will be on this also ?

My understanding is the Audiophile hard drive will continue to be a USB 2/3 compatible portable hard drive while the UltraPAK will be available as standard download only; standard download with optional USB 2/3 compatible portable hard drive or standard download with optional USB 2/3 compatible portable solid state drive.
The solid state drive enclosure is made by Sabrent. The product name is Rocket/nano v2 and it is a model SB-250-NAV2. The drive has a silicone case.
Ok, I just received my audiophile drive. Here are some specs that might be of interest.
It's 4 TB (up from 2 in the last several years) with 1.78 free, according to the partition info. In real numbers, the capacity is 3.9 TB and 1.9 of that is free space.
It uses the SATA 600 bus, which is the same as the last few years.
Drive rotation speed is 5526 RPM.
Additionally, the drive shows it has been on for 7 hours. Maybe that's how long it takes their machine to copy files to multiple drives.
In prior years my drives were by Samsung. This new one is a Seagate drive.
And it's thicker than prior years, but the same length and width. It's not the tiny drive the non-audiophiles are receiving, but compared to the past of five years ago, it's small enough.

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
