SSD designed for the DA-6400/DA-6400dp
This SSD has been designed for the TASCAM DA-6400 and DA-6400dp to ensure hours of glitch-free recording.

Longer recording times
The TSSD-480A can handle 64 channels of recording at 48kHz/24-bit for up to 14 hours and 26 minutes. These long recording times are useful for music festivals, concert recording and rehearsals. Capture the sound check and use this to refine your mix (virtual soundcheck), then go on to record the concert. If still more recording time is needed, a new drive can be inserted and ready to record in about 20 seconds.

Careful selection of components for high operational stability
Most SSD drives can see a big reduction in writing speed as files get fragmented due to repeated writing. If the drive slows down in the middle of a 64-track recording, you might see dropouts in your recording. Through research and development, TASCAM has learned that this effect can be minimized when using the right control IC for reliable recording performance. The result is our TSSD series of custom hard drives, designed for the challenges of high-channel-count recording.

Reliability is assured by using only specified and approved parts
Total control of the media used in the DA-6400 is how TASCAM can verify their stability. Even when a specific model is specified from a drive manufacturer, changes may occur in the components that may affect performance. By specifying our own drive, we can ensure that internal parts will not change.

Secure Support System
Suspected defects can be dealt with at the time they occur and data analysis can be performed to find a particular cause.
