Product Overview
The TASCAM TSSD-480B is a 480GB 2.5-inch SSD drive custom-designed and verified for the DA-6400 and DA-6400dp 64-channel multitrack recorders, providing up to 14 hours 26 minutes of 64-channel recording at 48 kHz/24-bit on a single drive. Drive components are co-specified with the media manufacturer, pre-formatted by TASCAM before shipment, and optimized for the DA-6400's repeated random-access recording pattern to ensure durability and stability under professional live and touring use.
Product Description
The DA-6400 records to an internal 2.5-inch SSD rather than standard hard drives or SD cards, providing shock resistance and silent operation suited to live event environments. Consumer SSDs use components that change between production runs, which can introduce unexpected compatibility issues with professional recording equipment. The TSSD-480B is co-designed with the media manufacturer to maintain fixed verified components across production runs, matching the DA-6400's SATA interface and firmware requirements. Each drive is pre-formatted before shipment for immediate deployment in a DA-6400 or DA-6400dp without additional setup steps. With 480GB capacity, a single TSSD-480B provides 14 hours 26 minutes of recording at 64 channels, 48 kHz/24-bit — enough for a full day of live event multitrack recording. MTBF is rated at 2,000,000 hours. Available at Creation Networks alongside the DA-6400 and DA-6400dp.
