hello everyone, i have an emu 4xt ultra sampler and it has got max ram 256 and some internal memory. so i wish to connect another hard disk also which is internal. so could anyone help me out with what kind of hard disks emu will incorporate.... i guess it would be internal scsi hard disk but is there is any size limitation? like, i can only plug a hard disk less than 40 gb or something? if anyone knows, please help me out, lots of samples, lots of sounds, very little space and one poor me!!!

thank you so much for the advice sir, but will any ide hard drive do? i haven't opened the emu so far, a bit hesitant to do so but is it having ide connection port and all? is it just as easy as pluging it in and formatting?

The IDE kit from E-mu is just an ATA cable and another for the powering. On the drive itself, any IDE will do, but there must be a limit so investing into a 500 GB drive could be stupid…The OS/hardware limit is 138 GB as it's a common issue one due to controller limitations in computers a long time ago. Now the 80 GB is working, it's been told on the E-mu 5000 mailing list and I found another user talking about a 120 GB so it's covered. The opening is easy, I've never done it on a E4XT but it should be similar, a few screws away and it's opened. There's the official manual of the official cable
