| Drive Compatibility for ESI 4000 |
|
| Most E-MU and ENSONIQ products use some kind of mass storage to store or retrieve sounds or recordings. Since the product lines of both companies span over a quarter of a century, it is impossible to list hard drives that will work with all products. However, we often receive reports from end users who have purchased one drive or another, and their experience over a period of time is probably the best recommendation that can be made for a specific drive and model. |
|
| With that in mind, below is a list of CD-ROM drives, Hard Drives, and Removable Storage systems that are reportedly known to work properly with E-MU Samplers. |
|
| NOTE: E-MU tests these SCSI drives externally. EOS 4.0 series supports a max 18Gb drive (EOS 3 and below support a max 9Gb) please consider that the sampler can provide a maximum 1.7 amps / 12 volt for an internal hard drive (IDE or SCSI). If the drive requires more power you would not be able to install in internally (*drive power specs are provided by the manufacturer of the drive). |
|
| Please be aware that there are no guarantees that every drive listed will work, due to the fact that drive software will change during a particular drive's lifetime as will operating systems and drivers that control them. If you are in the market for a new drive, we highly recommend you purchase a drive from a reputable supplier who will allow you to either try the drive before you buy it or return the mechanism if it proves to be incompatible with your sampler. It should be noted as well that, although there are several CD-R and CD-RW drives listed, they can only be used as read-only drives in conjunction with your E-MU sampler. |
|
| Where to get them |
|
| One highly reputable firm which E-MU has had a long standing relationship with is Glyph Technologies in the US *(see list below). Another source for purchasing hard drives is CUE Technologies who specialize in sourcing and supplying older model computer hard drives and other computer-related products that are hard-to-find. |

| In Germany, Syntec provides high quality mass storage tested to be compatible with E-MU gear. There are others, of course, and we encourage you to explore suppliers in your area. If they specifically test drives to work with E-MU gear, please let us know so we can include them on this list as a resource. |

| E-MU & User-tested Internal IDE Drives |
|
|
 |
EOS v4.01 for E4 Ultra now supports an internal IDE drive; it needs to be ATA-3 (or higher) compliant or else it will not be mounted. |
|
|
The IDE drive needs to be configured as the Master device. Currently, EOS only supports one internal IDE drive configured as the Master device; it ignores a Slave device. |
|
|
Currently, EOS does not support ATAPI devices (IDE CD-ROM drives, IDE Zip drives, etc.). |
|
|
NOTE: Only E4 Ultra samplers allow the use of IDE drives. EIII, Emax II, EIIIx, and ESI family samplers can only communicate with SCSI devices. |
