Only the best for your sampler - 1 (800) 631-1346

"External SCSI" refers to a freestanding unit with its own power supply, mounted in an external SCSI enclosure. With samplers there is no need for any special software. The drivers are part of your sampler's operating system.

HARD DRIVES
With the latest version of the operating system, the K2000 can see a hard drive up to 2Gb.  However, the official word from Kurzweil is that the K2000 power supply is inadequate to run a drive of this size, so an external SCSI hard drive with its own power supply is the  way to go.  

Removable SCSI drives (ZIP, JAZZ, and ORB) have better shock resistance than hard drives, but seem to have long-term reliability problems.  We are offering external SCSI hard drives as an alternative.  All mechanisms and SCSI enclosures are new.   Don't trust your data to old, used drives.

The drives described on this page ship in external SCSI cases, with standard 50 pin Centronics connectors. High density connectors for more recent models of Akai samplers are available upon request.

Compatibility of the drives has been confirmed for various sampling keyboards by direct testing. We make no guarantees of any kind with regard to the suitability of the drives or the external enclosures for other applications. In particular, we cannot guarantee their suitability for use with a computer because there are many variables that affect drive performance in that context, including but not limited to the make and model computer, the operating system, drivers, and SCSI controllers.

Our external units are custom units which are brought in from out of state. We cannot accept returns on these units except for reasons other than those related to component failure or failure due to defects of workmanship. If in doubt about your storage needs, please call (303) 458-7154 during normal business hours so that we can clarify any issues before you place your order.
