I work with up to 24 tracks from time to time using a RME Digiface and
en external Maxtor OneTouch II firewire single disk. When recording or
playing back without a lot of plugins and overlaying regions, it's
working stable. But if you forget to use playlists for different takes
an just layer them on the respective tracks, you have to be very
careful.

So the bottom line of my experience: It works, if you take care about
the transfer limits and arrange your session that way.
