Connecting to or Disconnecting from the Recording Devices
You can connect the SSD-128G to the Roland R-1000 for use as recording storage.
For connection and disconnection steps, refer to the owner’s manuals for the R-1000.
NOTE
To avoid the risk of damage to internal components that can be caused by static electricity, please
carefully observe the following whenever you handle this drive.
• Before you touch the drive, always first grasp a metal object (such as a water pipe), so you are sure
that any static electricity you might have been carrying has been discharged.
• When handling this drive, grasp it only by the case. Avoid touching any of the electronic
components or connectors.
• Before you connect any cables, make sure they do not carry a static electricity charge. Such
charges can be transmitted, for example, if the other end of the cable has been in contact with a
carpet (or other object) where there is a static electricity buildup.
NOTE
Before the first recording to the SSD-128G, use the recording device (R-1000) to format this drive.
Without formatting process, this drive cannot carry out proper recording. For steps of formatting the
recording drive, refer to owner’s manuals for the R-1000.

NOTE
When you connect the SSD-128G to your computer, note the following points.
• The USB cable has 2 plugs on one end. Be sure to connect both plugs to the USB ports on your
computer. If you connect one plug only, it may cause the SSD-128G to malfunction because of
limited power (depending on the model of your computer.
• If connecting 2 plugs is difficult because of limited USB ports or space, you can connect via USB
hub. In this case, use a self-powered type (a hub that receives power from an external AC adaptor).
Do not use a bus-powered USB hub. Note too that the SSD-128G may not work properly if it
connected via a bus-powered USB hub - again due to the limited power.

may not work properly.
