Roland VS-1824 用户手册

This chapter explains basic concepts, internal structure, and 
basic operation regarding the use of hard drives with the 
VS-1824. Read this chapter thoroughly to gain a better 
understanding of how the VS-1824 operates.

The VS-1824 saves all of the data, such as performance data, 
mixing data, system data, etc., on a hard disk drive.

The internal hard disk is not removable.

The internal hard drive has 5 partitions. The size of each 
partition is 2000 MB. If you would like to change partition 
size, please refer to drive initializing on p. 229.

The VS-1824 is able to manage 500 MB, 1000 MB or 2000 MB 
of disk space at once. If you use a disk drive with a capacity 
that is greater than this, you will need to divide it into two or 
more areas.

Each of these area is referred as a “partition.” Up to eight 
partitions can be created in a single disk drive.

Each partition on the VS-1824’s disk drive is treated as an 
independent drive, and automatically given a partition 
number (0–7). When a single hard disk has multiple 
partitions, you can specify which partition drive will be used 
(“Drive Select,” p. 228). This selected disk drive partition 
used is referred to as the “current drive.”
