    They didn't even need 40GB, really. The map/POI data takes up 30GB. The hard drive is a traditional Toshiba MK4036GAC 2.5", designed specifically for automotive applications. The hard drive isn't directly accessible by the enduser; content stored on CDs can be transferred to the internal hard drive, but most users just use an external thumb drive.

    Re:

    The CD-ripping programming was added for two reasons

    1) Make use of the remaining 10GB on the internal hard drive, after map data
    2) Appease customers who wanted a 6-cd changer. There was not enough space in the dashboard for navigation, premium audio, AND a 6-cd changer, so this was a compromise.

    It wasn't a commonly-used feature and was dropped entirely with MyFordTouch
