Is there any function on the T2 for putting the drive to sleep? I have always been nervous about pounding away at a keyboard that has a delicate hard drive spinning away inside......

Also, a lot of people transport their light weight arrangers in bags or cases that are anything but rugged and well padded. Most people treat their laptops far more gently, but the drive inside a keyboard is just as delicate, and probably more gig-essential!

Anyway, if there is any way to spin down a hard drive before you play, you have a much reduced possibility of damaging it. A small UPS might also be a good way to prevent brownouts which can also wreak havoc on HDs and other delicate computer components.

I am happy to see more and more keyboards equipped with 50-100MB solid state drives on board. For anything other than audio files, this memory, especially if you can expand it with GB sized memory cards, is MORE than enough for regular arranger usage, and puts to rest any concerns about impact damage to a delicate HD.

I wonder if anyone makes a direct replacement for a HD (laptop or regular sized) that can be used as a plug and play replacement? I know you lose capacity, but gain the benefit of ruggedness.....
