Capacity
-
The Rio Forge is a flash-memory player with a capacity ranging from 128 MB to 512 MB. For many users, this is not enough storage for the amount of audio files they would like to store.
Expansion Slot
-
The Rio Forge comes with an expansion memory slot, allowing for up to 1 GB of additional memory. This is still not much memory when compared to the capabilities of widely available, hard-drive-based players.

Hard Drive Players
-
Hard drive players, which are also offered by Rio, have a much higher memory capacity than flash-based players. The storage capacities of these devices range from 1.5 GB to 20 GB -- superior to that of the Rio Forge.
