Popped in an 80GB drive, works like a charm. Thank you kalide for this great idea!
sorry, you are able to use all 80GB?

override wrote:i guess if you could make that work it would be useful as well.. but i think its more practical to have removable media. if you transferred samples via usb wouldnt you have to unlpug the usb cable every time you wanted load stuff in the emu and reboot the sampler anyway? i dont see the hard drive being able to use both interfaces at once.. well i just dont know of any that can.
btw for non ultras there are some more expensive (60+usd) scsi to sata adapters around on the net. im going to have to try out one of those i thinK

Yes but Only Fat32 formated! Not EOS !
Are there any pins on the drive or interface to prevent the drive going into sleep mode ?
Are there any pins to make sure the SATA interfaces works at 1.5GB intead of 3.0GB/s (i.e slowing it down a little)?
SATA 1.5Gb/s Speed Limit Jumper setting Only for
SATA 3.0Gb/s products. In some rare cases SATA 1.5Gb/s
hosts can not establish SATA interface connection with
SATA 3.0Gb/s devices due to interface protocol issues.
In this case the jumper may be installed as shown on the
figure below to force the device to negotiate for SATA
1.5Gb/s speed.
Do you need additional external power for the hard drive rather than powering it from the SATA connector ?
Also - do you know if the interface works on a regular PC already before trying it in the Emu ?
