Here's an option I'll probably go for - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827151231&nm_mc=OTC-Froogle&cm_mmc=OTC-Froogle-_-CD/DVD+ROM/RW+Drives+-+External-_-SAMSUNG-_-27151231

I don't get why they didn't just burn everything into ROM like they did with other synths.

SOME of Korg's workstations (01/Wfd, Triton Extreme, M3) have all presets burned into ROM so you can just easily restore them from Global Mode. Yet other workstations (X/N series, Trinity, Kronos) don't. Why do they decide leave this feature out of some workstations and yet include it in others... particularly in the workstations featuring the new flashy technology?

ROM costs money. Why bother with that, when you've got an entire solid state hard drive in the unit? None of those other synths you mention has an on-board hard drive. That's why. You just put the factory files on there, restoring anything from the whole thing to a bank to a single program is just as easy as doing it in global mode. You just do it in disk mode from the factory folder.

As Stephen notes, all of the factory sounds are available as files on the SSD, and can be reloaded in seconds.

The difference is like eating Soup from 2 different brand Soup Bowls
but some of us would still complain cuz one of the Bowls has no flowers on it.
