I read the previouse thread about hardrives below .
viewtopic.php?t=2179
How ever in the thread no member mentioned which hardrives they are using in there samplers, I also noticed that the hardrive must only use 1.7 amps.
Do any members know which hardrives use 1.7 amps?????
Any help would be appreciated

I suppose you are referring to internal HDs.
Well, the built-in 270Mb drive in my E4K is a Quantum LPS270S so I guess that works. My external one is a 1Gb Quantum Fireball.
Dunno if this helps?!

I use an internal laptop harddrive (IDE). I dont think thoes small 2.5" harddrives take that much power.
Works like a charm. 80gb of samplespace :)

The Emu reports on infoscreen
D8 HTS541080G9AT00 (revision: MB41A60A)
Its an ibm harddisk, typical used in IBM TP T40
Nothing special about it.. it works like a charm, and is sooooo quiet!!

The hardrive you are using is a Hitachi HTS541080G9AT00 I cannot find much info on this drive other than the drive uses 5 watts to boot and 2 watts when reading.
Here is the link to the pdf

5 watt, 5volt dc.
P = U * I, so.. that means
Amp = 5watt / 5volt
max use = 1 amp ??
is that right, or am i totaly wrong?
in other words, if its right.. it will never drain anything close to 1,7amp in regular working mode, but i can drain up to 1 amp on boot.

Did the emu ide cable fit this smaller drive or did you need to use an adaptor????

You need an adaptor, becuase you need to connect the power to the disk aswell.

but with the adaptor it was just plug and play
