Best Software or Hardware to Quickly Trigger 40 second loops?

[allminorseconds]

Mods please move this if needed.

I am looking for a hardware or software option to trigger at least 40 second loops. I'd like up to 8 pads at least. If there is cheap hardware that does this, it would be better. I want to be able to load wave files. I looked at Teenage Engineering, but it seemed like they only had limited memory and it might not be easy to connect to a harddrive to put the samples in. I almost want like a really small Akai style physical sampler.

I could use software, but I'd really like this to be a dedicated machine, and so it would potentially get expensive, I'd basically have to get a cheap laptop exclusively for this. I also would really prefer to avoid fan noise. I also do not want to use an Apple or Android phone, as I don't need anything I'm doing musically constantly monitored by a bunch of backdoors and Apps to sell my data, metadata, and geolocation to the highest bidder, so forget about that option.

Any sort of GPS enabled IPad or Android tablet is also not something I want due to it trying to connect on Wireless to do updates and sell data. I know things can be disabled in such devices, but it's too easy to accidentally enable them and I don't want to deal with rooting or my data being sold when trying to just create art. Cheap hardware sampling would be easiest.

Does anyone have a recommendation?

I could have my maths wrong, but the Akai MPX8 gives you 8 pads with a max of 30Mb of samples spread between them for about £100 new. Will load samples off of SDcard.

Audio format is 16 bit mono, I reckon 40 seconds of 48KHz is maybe pushing it, but 44.1KHz might fit, and 32Khz definitely should.

Ive not used one myself, came across it while I was leafing through ebay about an hour ago, so you should probably have a look for more info to confirm.
