NOTES:
- Due to the age of the product, Roland does not stock hard drives and do not have the demos originally included with the VS-2480. We no longer have resources for where to acquire hard drives. However they may be able to be found at most electronic/computer stores or online.
- Like other manufacturers, we cannot offer instructions regarding opening up a product and replacing the hard drive--due to safety and liability reasons. If you need assistance installing a VS-2480 hard drive, you may contact a local service center here:

NOTE: We do not recommend using Western Digital brand hard drives as customers have reported issues with these drives in past years.
