Well... Yamaha did asome job. Look’s & sound's good so far. After 9000pro it will take only short time to ajast. Generaly it will satisfy lots of musician depending there needs. For me I am coming long line of keyboards .I use to have Roland d50 G600 xp80, korg T3 i3 i30 pa80, and I still have Ensoniq TS10 & PSR 9000 PRO …
And now new T2.
Now about T2 vs. 9000pro. In my opinion without expansion board’s 5 time’s better
With 4 time. 1-sound 2-key 3-locations 4-lcd 5-27lb Tonight I am gono install memory & HD and load my style’s & sound’s and I will try to keep update’s about my opinion.
I apologize for my short explanation. Hopefully tomorrow I play some demos.

Hi there.
Can you please let me know what memory and hard drive you are installing as I want to install decent ones when my Tyros 2 arrives.
I was going to opt for a 40GB drive but an 80 is only a few pounds more so I may as well be greedy.
I've not located any 80GB 2.5" drives that are 7200 rpm yet, I was hoping for maybe a Samsung or Western Digital.
Thanking you.

Hi Craig,

Mine has 40 Gb 7200 hdd brand Hitachi
Memory 512 Mb Kingston (2 strips of 256Mb)

Roel

Roel, just curious..The hard drive you are using...is it a standard 3 and 1/2" IDE hard drive, or can we get 7200 RPM, 2 and 1/2" hard drives?

Answered my own question.. http://www.techdepot.com/product.asp?productid=3460361&affid=10000485

Does anyone if that drive will work with the Tyros 2?

Thanks Roel, I'll have a good gander on the net as finding a 2.5" 7200 in the UK is proving to be harder than I thought.
I've e-mailed Yamaha and left a voice message so someone should get back.
I've also realised that the Yamaha Club magazine in the UK is based where I live so I'll give them a buzz. I may even get to speak to Glyn Madden (famous organist/keyboard player for those not in UK).

Hello Craig
There is a 60Gb drive on this site, but it is expensive, (Look under Hitachi) so I would stick with a 5400rpm drive, but make sure it has a 8Mb buffer. http://www.lowestonweb.com/Products/DisplayInfoMain.asp?e=52878419-EB07-4EBA-9284-DD8D03D0A8E0
Hope this helps.

Cheers for the link.
I've spotted the 80GB for just a little more so I think I will go for that. It is expensive so I'll compare some prices on Google to see if anyone can beat it.
