You don't want to add a second drive. You need to pull the old drive and replace it with an upgraded SSD that gives faster data speeds, lower operating temperature and gigabytes desired. If you add a second drive to avoid a fresh install? You will increase internal operating Temps which is something you want to avoid. Sharps video shows a fan that is right against the SSD because of the heat they can generate. It's been proven many times how a better quality SSD can improve booting and streaming large samples. If you have a problem with your Kronos during the warranty period? Slap the old drive back in and get it repaired. Nothing to cut, add or reroute when you replace and there are no seals that indicates the opening that would void the warranty.
Think about it. If you take your keyboard to a repair center. They are a business and want to make money. They don't care if you opened the Kronos. They don't investigate. My local repair guys milk manufacturers on purpose. Lol moooooooooooo |

The increase in boot speed from a faster SSD is noticeable, but hardly crucial. Replacing the primary SSD is a lot more involved than simply hooking up a second one. |

Agreed.
I've been in IT for many years, and I went through the process. The physical aspect is pretty simple, just a couple of cables and such, a few screws and swapping out drives is definitely better. I still have my old 30gb drive from the Kronos 1, but have a much faster SSD as the primary now. (The old 30gb drive is in a removable enclosure now instead)
That said, it was a pain in the butt to reinstall the software from scratch, worry that things aren't backed up properly, reinstall the expansions that I had, re-register the Kronos and the expansions and only then could I move the files back onto the new SSD via FTP *which I installed a dedicated network cable for* - another step which not everyone would want to do necessarily.
I could have cloned the drive sure, and while the partition resizing works 99% of the time, if it failed in that 1% then I'm doing the above anyway so... Why not just do it in the first place. _________________ Korg Kronos 88 2, Korg Kronos 73, Kurzweil K2600S

Had to fix your link to view it. You forgot an important character- ]
BTW thanks for posting that link, I should mention this is the same link I described earlier as being the tutorial I found for the 88-key model, I probably should have posted that link myself to begin with.
Come to find out I was already subscibed to Julius Berry (the poster of said link) on my YouTube account!
I will probably contact Korg support and ask them about what I'm allowed to do without voiding my warranty. |
