G-Protection buffer on the MZ-N10

[MDX-400]

Just purchasing an MZ-N10 off eBay recently I had my first opportunity to use one extensively, first hand. Yeah yeah don't tell me I'm like 3 years behind the times here, lol. But I thought a 10th Anniversary unit would be nice to add to my little collection

Anyway, I noticed something interesting about this unit I've not seen mentioned before. The G-Protection buffer is perhaps 3 times the size of other units...

This thread on the T-board is where I posted the details:

I found the N10 buffering nearly 4 minutes of SP data in one read cycle compared to around 40 seconds (which I'd considered normal for pretty much all MD units for the longest time) that the N707 buffers.

I didn't see any mention of it on the Equipment Browser and was wondering, is this a trait shared by all 2nd Gen NetMD units (Nx10) or just something exclusive to the N10 (and perhaps the N910)?

I'm surprised I haven't seen this mentioned before considering it is a huge difference in buffering and a unit that is several years old--did I just miss people talking about that when the N10 was new???
