You need a 2.5" drive like is made for a laptop. I have used fujitsu in my vs880, and hitachi, and ibm. You can buy some of these cheap at: http://www.pcperipherals.com/ Here is a vs880 compatible media guide: http://www.synthman.com/roland/support/supplementalnotes/SUPNOTES/VSCOMP.html If you have problem finding what you want, write me offline. I have a dozen or so of these drives and could probably sell you one too. The vs880 has a limit to the drive size it can use. I think they can only use up to a 4gb, 4 partitions, 1 gb each. If you get a larger drive it can work, you can only use 4gb of it. I recently upgraded to the vs-2480, it is awesome. bret __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
