Description

The listing, TWO Hitachi 6GB Microdrives - BNIP - FREE SHIPPING has ended.

I purchased three of these drives some time ago @ $40 each to use with a Korg Triton Extreme. However, when I opened one of them (the opened package drive) I discovered that I needed an adapter to use them with that keyboard. Sold the keyboard a while ago without ever getting around to hunting out the adapter. Thought about taking them to "The Other' big auction site [where I have the same username, btw - feel free to verify!] but know I would be eaten alive by fees on something small like this - so have simply been sitting on them. Just recently discovered Listia, and think it is a GREAT idea. So here is my second post. (My first post was for a single drive.) This listing is for THE REMAINING TWO DRIVES. (As it will be cheaper to ship these as a single package!) Will ship these to anywhere in the USA for free (and I ship VERY quickly!) I generally run 3 day listings on the other site, and do not see any reason to change that here. And, of course, though one of the drives is unopened and the other is unused, I will offer a personal 30-day warranty on their functionality. (And hate Amazon forever in the event that either fails!)

To clarify: One drive is opened but never inserted or used. (It wouldn't fit the keyboard without an adapter.) The other is new, sealed/unopened. I have included actual photos of both drives and the serial numbers will match exactly to the photos.

Thanks for taking the time to look, and Good Luck in ALL your auction endeavors!

They were purchased around the end of last spring/early summer. So about a year ago. The Korg Triton Extreme has a PCMCIA and accepts these as storage devices - but not without an additional adapter. At the time, I was under the impression that these would pop right in. But they obviously didn't; being much too small on their own to fill the slot. My intention was to sell the Triton with the 15GB sound and sample sets that I had compiled for it and accessed through USB without forcing the buyer to do the same. Ultimately, I burned the data to DVDs and passed everything on with the keyboard that way.

I may be confused here, so let me ask something real quick before I bid further...

My knowledge of Mircodrives are basically miniature 1" harddrives designed to fit into CompactFlash slots - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microdrive . I have a 4gb IBM version of the Microdrive, but the image that you show here doesn't look like what I am expecting.

Is this indeed a CompactFlash harddrive or something altogether different? Thanks...

Thanks for asking. These are definitely Microdrives, not CF cards. The newer ZIF/PATA socket on them may be confusing you. It sounds like your IBM has the older IDE socket, which looks different. To use these in an IDE socket you would need a very small ZIF to IDE Adapter. Those are less than $5 for one shipped inside North America, or as low as $1.18 for one shipped from HK to the USA. However, I would be concerned about the device you are planning to use these in. If there is no additional room in the device for that very small adapter - it would render them useless to you.
