Tyros 2 hard drive

[Rexmounger]

The maze of information available from Yamaha on the hard drive is of no help to this beginner.

Below is information on a HD that I ordered from KeyFax. I am returning it because there are no skrews for installation.

Internal Hard Drive

Quantity in Basket: None
Code: 2.5HD
Price: $0.00
Shipping Weight: 1.00 pounds


Hard Drive Size: 40GB $149
60GB


Any advise on getting a good HD for my Tyros 2 will be appreciated.

Rex,

A thought! - and I have not got a Tyros 2 here to try this, but from memory I thought the screws were inside the hard drive bay on Tyros 2.

Have you removed the HD cover section on your Tyros 2 and checked to see that the screws for the hard drive are not already there (i.e. in place in the threads)?

Keyfax are a great company and am sure a phone call/ email to them would remedy this if it does require additional screws.

Regards

Hi Rex

Upon thinking about this further. The hard drive screws may have been included in the original Tyros 2 box with the owner’s manuals etc?

I would suggest checking either this location or my other suggestion in the forum post above (i.e. on the mounting cover plate, which itself is under the HD outer cover), as I feel quite sure that the proper screws are included with Tyros 2.

Regards

You may be right on target. The owner's manual does say, "... mount with the supplied screws."

I will check this.

In the meantime, help me choose a good harddrive. The Tyros supplied information is a maze to me.

Thanks,

Rex

Don't know if you have one yet but I have a list of them and your one seemed very expensive to me. I do intend trying PC World and MicroMart magazine and also the Net when I am in need of mine . I think SD cards will
do at the moment. Bill Doran

As promised ; My hard drive has arrived and easily installed (carefully though),
Remove Plate fix with the 4 screws ( small ones came with the Tyros2), then
the plate just slides into the T2 again.

Details ; info@centretek.co.uk product code 1777 Seagate ST9100828A
it is 100Gb price 36.94 delivery £5 Vat £7.34 Invoice total £ 49.28.

Hope this is of use as this one is not on the list I have seen , and had no luck with getting any of them !!! Regards to all Bill Doran
