Hallo,
on my Tyros HD I stored 3000 iItems. (Songs and Styles) The space needed for is 180 MB,
less than 1% of the 20 Giga HD. Tell me , what shell I do with the 99% ?

If you purchase a VSTi sampler ( even though your kb doesn't have an internal sampler) you can utilize pre-recorded sample from other companies. So, for instance Gigastudio has an orchestra library that one can buy and load on to ones keyborad. This new library includes over 4GB of orchestral
samples from every instrument family of the orchestra ( ex. strings, piano, brass etc..). So, thats where the use of the extra space of a 30 Gb HD would be very useful, and the 50Mg SSD would not suffice.

I don't think $80 for an HD on a $3500 Flagship arranger is to much to ask and only comprises 2.2% of the total cost. It at least could have been offered as an option. Therefore those that wanted it could install after a purchase.
