VS-2000 Hard Disk Drives

What's a Hard Drive?

A hard drive is a hardware mechanism that contains one or more rigid platters—that's
why it's called a "hard" drive—on which data is stored. A hard drive may also be
referred to as a "disk drive." In the VS-2000, your hard drive stores all of your recordings
and project settings. A hard drive is a great way to store and quickly retrieve data, and
provides for some amazing features, as we'll see.
Your VS-2000 shipped from the Roland factory with a 40 GB (gigabyte) IDE hard drive
installed. This provides lots of space for your projects.

How a VS-2000 Hard Drive Organizes Data

A VS-2000 hard drive divides up its total disk space into sections called "partitions."
Partitions help keep project data together on the hard drive. Each partition acts like a
separate virtual drive—it even looks that way on the VS-2000's screens.
Your 40 GB VS-2000 internal hard drive was divided into four approximately 10 GB
partitions at the factory. These partitions are labeled IDE:0, IDE:1, IDE:2 and IDE:3.
