Both models offer an impressive storage capacity, accommodating a significant amount of audio files. The DM-20, in particular, features 2GB of internal memory, while the DM-10 comes with slightly less. However, both support microSD cards, allowing users to expand their storage options.

Furthermore, both models are compatible with a variety of audio formats, allowing for flexibility in file management and playback. Users can transfer recordings to their computers easily, making it convenient to share or archive important audio files.
