Connecting Hard Disk Drives

Before connecting a hard disk drive, read through this chapter to familiarize yourself with 
SCSI and how a SCSI daisy chain should be setup.

If you don’t already have a hard disk or are thinking of buying a larger one, see the supplied 
card for a listing of recommended disk drives.

The following table shows approximate available recording times for various sizes of hard 
disk. Available recording times are shown for all of the CBX-D5’s sampling frequencies, 
and as you can see, with a higher sampling frequency – less time is available. This is 
because using a high sampling frequency produces much more digital data, which means 
a bigger sound file. See “Sampling frequency (REC FREQ)” on page 20 for more details 
about selecting a sampling frequency. 

Although it is doubtful that you will ever buy a hard disk smaller than 40MB for use with 
the CBX-D5, the values below 40MB will be useful for checking the remaining record 
time that is available on a hard disk that already contains some sound files.
