About this product
This External SD Card Reader Drive from Ensoniq is designed for use with specific Ensoniq samplers such as the ASR10 and ASR88. It provides 8 GB of storage capacity via an SD card and connects to compatible devices using a SCSI interface. The drive supports HDD type storage and offers a silent operation, making it a suitable modern storage solution for vintage musical instruments. It's an external unit, simplifying integration with existing setups.
Our take
For Ensoniq ASR10 and ASR88 users, this external SD card reader is a vital upgrade. Swapping out a noisy, slow hard drive for 8 GB of silent SD card storage dramatically improves the experience. The SCSI interface ensures compatibility with these vintage samplers, allowing for quick and reliable access to samples and programs. While 8 GB isn't massive by today's standards, it's ample for an ASR. It’s an essential piece of hardware for keeping classic Ensoniq gear running smoothly and quietly.
