SCSI for Samplers - Flash Drive for Your Sampler

"Do you need a better storage method for your data than the unreliable zip drive or the slow floppy drive? Card Reader drives are the new state-of-the-art storage solution - stop worrying about when your zip drive will fail or how many boxes of floppy disks you will need to save your latest sample. Now you can have as much reliable storage space as you need with inexpensive Compact Flash cards.

The MCDISK-2 is a solid-state Media Card drive that has no moving parts and makes no noise during operation. It comes in a small beige case that is 8.5" x 6.75" x 2.25" and can be used in any orientation, flat or on its side. It is very sturdy and solid, equally at home on the road or in the studio. This case has a fan in it but we ship the drive with this fan disabled in order to keep the unit completely noise-free. The fan is not needed in this configuration because the internal MCDISK drive puts out no heat at all and the internal power supply puts out only a very small amount. The case stays cool internally from natural air flow.

The MCDISK-2 has one PCMCIA slot which enables you to use Compact Flash or Smart Media cards for storage (with the correct PCMCIA adapter). We sell the PCMCIA-to-CF adapters in our Package deals or separately (see Related Products below)."

via Giles: "I've just got hold of a SCSI flash drive from http://www.scsiforsamplers.com/ - the "news" part is until recently these flash drives were an unknown/untested alternative to hard drives for many of these old samplers like my Ensoniq EPS16+. This place has done some really good compatibility testing and JD from there provides sterling service. Anyone with a vintage sampler or considering getting one can bring these classics into the the present with these drives, they're a hell of a lot better than ratty old SCSI hard drives"
