One suggestion I might have for this video is the power supply connector - you can buy extenders for those. Would have saved you a lot of grief. Nice video.
Yeah for sure. It was kinda uncharted territory back then with the Kronos. I wasn't sure what I was getting into when I started. Lol. Thanks for watching!
I got a question and maybe u can help me out. I have an original KRONOS 61 that came with a standard 30GB ssd. I cloned the drive to a new 250GB SSD using a docking station offline. I installed the new drive but left the SATA cable where it was originally and just hooked it up to the new drive. I did not reinstall the original drive. The keyboard booted up fine but when I go to see how much memory there is it still reads 30GB when in fact it should say 250GB. Any suggestions?
Michael Molini great question. Unfortunately I don't know the 100% answer. But I do think you have to use the DVDs (maybe) if you are replacing the other drive. I'm not sure if "cloning along will work). I don't understand why you wouldn't have just ADDED the new drive vs REPLACING the old drive.
Hi Michael, I know the answer, and I hope this still can help you. After offline cloning the original 30GB SSD to your new 250GB SSD, the cloned korg_rw partition on your 250GB SSD remains unchanged at 30GB. You need to make a bootable USB drive with Linux OS and GParted Live utility to boot up your PC, with your SSD at drive A position of your SATA docking station, to expand the extended partition to maximum available disk space by dragging the arrow to the right, then expand the korg_rw partition to maximum available disk space by dragging the arrow to the right. You can download GParted Live bootable USB drive ISO image at gparted.org/download.php GParted Live online manual: gparted.org/display-doc.php?name=gparted-live-manual#gparted-live-booting-gparted-live I replaced the 64GB SSD that came with my Kronos 2 88 with a Samsung 860 EVO 500GB SSD using Inatek FD2102 SATA USB 3.0 docking station via offline cloning, then expanded the korg_rw partition to a total of 458GB using GParted Live utility. The 500GB Samsung SSD works flawlessly. Thanks, Paul
Michael Molina. ? I just installed secondary SSd hard drive & SSd cable in my Kronos 88 keys every time I press a certain key I heard a knocking sound please tell my what type is SSd cable I need or give me the model of the web link thanks 🙏 I purchased 4 different sata ssd cable they are are hitting against my key bed inside my board please help
changed my primary ssd Sata hard drive on my Kronos 2 accidentally broke the plastic where the power ssd cable plugs into on my Factory Drive so I bought 240 GBs Kingston drive using my installation disk to install software I will not install 4 hours later -Still saying formatting the disk please wait what’s going on? What am I supposed to do please let me know ASAP Help please
I have not encountered this problem. But depending on how large the disc is, the formatting procedure could have varying lengths of time. I also, did not change anything about my primary drive. I only added a new one.
Julius DeBerry I wanted to enlarge my primary drive But with the 18” ssd cable was few inches short so I tried to make it fit the ssd drive I cracked the plastic where it connectes I should have messed with it
I’m having the problem you had I removed the original primary SSD drive 60 GBs & Replaced new SSD hard drive which Is 250GBs I clone the drive boot up my Kronos I only see the 60 GBs instead of the 250 GBs drive please let me know what you did any suggestions
is your kronos a kronos 2-88 keys model? if it is, how do you manage the fact the the SATA port on the motherboard for the second SSD in under the keybed? Do you slightly move the keybed and plugged in the cable or what?
Julius DeBerry Hi thanks Julius for your response.. I been watching your video on replacing 128 ssd drive I purchased a Kingston 240 GBs ssd Disque flash drive 10xs faster A400 It is very thin drive , Has been Formatting for 4 hours now ... took it out and tested it on my Pc it works I don’t know what’s going on with can you look it up to see if it the right drive on Amazon thanks 🙏 please let me know or I’m gonna need your advice ,,, please send me a link thanks again
a 120GB Drive gives your 150GB of storage Space ?!?! Hows that possible ?! - however...what you didnt mentioned is..how you get all your stuff transfered from the old drive to your new one ?
He is counting the 30GB SSD that the original Kronos ships with - 120GB + 30GB = 150GB. Korg strongly recommends that you do NOT replace the main boot drive as there is calibration data and other hardware data that is very hard to transfer off onto a new drive. The only way to replace this data is to send the unit into an authorized Korg servicer - who will charge you a TON to 'fix' your machine. His video, as a result, is just adding an additional 'sampling and storage' drive to the Kronos - which will not jeopardize these settings or the Kronos OS.
That's not thru. I had my first Kronos 61 and added 2GB of ram and replaced the Original 30GB SSD with a 60GB 5 years ago I think and then U must use the Dvd's included with the OS and connect an external powered USB DVD rom drive and this will install the whole bunch of files. Watchout not every DVD player is working it's an power issue. Kind Regards Edwin
I had no idea it was uploaded in that resolution.... it's been up for 5 years and no one else has said anything.... you are the 1st to mention it. Is there something I can help with that you can't see well in the video?

Julius
yeah man. it makes a huge difference. but the kronos still only sees 3gb or the 4gb of sa.ple ram. (not hard drive space)

I wanted to enlarge my primary drive
But with the 18” ssd cable was few inches short so I tried to make it fit the ssd drive I cracked the plastic where it connectes I should have messed with it
I kinda patched up the broken drive Working but broken
But with my new drive just won’t install not even from the Installation 📀
so the part that broke is connected to the motherboard?
Julius DeBerry The clip in On the sata hard drive the plastic clip that the cables connects to ? Is there any way I seen you a picture
I’m having the problem you had I removed the original primary SSD drive 60 GBs & Replaced new SSD hard drive which Is 250GBs I clone the drive boot up my Kronos I only see the 60 GBs instead of the 250 GBs drive please let me know what you did any suggestions
I did not replace a drive. I added a drive.
is your kronos a kronos 2-88 keys model? if it is, how do you manage the fact the the SATA port on the motherboard for the second SSD in under the keybed? Do you slightly move the keybed and plugged in the cable or what?
I have the original Kronos model.
So Julius, how did it turned out installing the ssd drive? Please let me know thanks
Was everything correct the ssd cable ect..
had no issues. documented the whole thing on video.
Can a ssd sata 3 be used?
Or do you have to buy SATA 2?
Is it possible to keep the original ssd information?
Ricardo Nacarate you can use a sata 3 it will just revert to sata 2 speed- they are all backward compatible.
Can someone connect me to the web site to purchase the right ssd harddrive. Please
I think there are tons of different drives you can use. What is your budget and how many GBs are you looking to have?
