Q: recording live band

Hi all, I have just purchased an iMac and want to record my band live.  I wondered, as I need max 12 channels can I do the following>>>>>>>>>>  get a 12 channel interface and record directly into my 1TB G Drive mobile usb storage unit and then, download onto iMac to edit?  If so a guestimate on how long I could record for??  I have no idea.

I did not want a laptop but if my idea is not possible I may upgrade my iPad as mine is an old one. Would that do the job?  I have been a muso for 44 years but the owner of an iMac for only a week.  Thanks in advance PeTe

iMac with Retina 5K display, OS X EL Capitan version 10.11.6
