About this product
This external SD card reader/writer provides a SCSI interface, specifically designed for E-MU ESI 32, 2000, and 4000 samplers. It supports HDD drive types and features hot-swap capability. With a storage capacity of 4 GB, this unit allows users to upgrade their legacy E-MU equipment with convenient, modern SD card storage.
Our take
If you're still rocking an E-MU ESI 32, 2000, or 4000, this external SD card reader offers a very practical upgrade path. The SCSI interface is crucial for compatibility, and the ability to use SD cards for storage is far more convenient than older options. Hot-swap functionality is a nice touch, allowing for easy card changes without powering down. However, the 4 GB storage capacity is quite modest, especially considering the price point. It’s clearly a specialized item for vintage gear enthusiasts looking for specific functionality.
