Hi I would like to fit a hard drive to my pa3x 61notes keyboard. I have a hard drive but do I need any more parts before I start.
Many thanks Bill.

A "hard drive", as in a traditional drive that spins ?

Not such a good idea in my opinion. Your far better off installing a SATA2 SSD as it has no moving parts and vibration from banging the keys or transport makes almost no difference to them, unlike traditional hard drives.

Either way, you need to purchase a KORG mounting Kit.

Nope, it won't work. That drive has the old type IDE interface on it which is pretty much discontinued these days.

The Pa3X uses the current SATA interface. So you need a SATA Drive and the Mounting Kit.

Sharp.

Hi Sharp,
I got a used pa3x and it got a HDD installed already (normal spinning one). I saw some forums abt internal 4gb USB upgrade with a higher one. But I don't have that PCB in my Pa3x. Do you know where to buy that?
Cheers
Sam

as congan2 said, I dont understand why you would need more space then what is already offered.

I need more PCM as well :=)
