TASCAM TSSD-480B 480GB 2.5″ SATA SSD / 14+ hrs 64-Channel 48 kHz / 15G Vibration Tolerance

Description

The TSSD-480B is a 480GB 2.5″ Serial ATA solid-state drive designed as a custom storage solution for the DA-6400 and DA-6400DP digital multitrack recorders. It provides long-duration SSD recording capacity and reliable physical tolerance for field use. The drive is targeted at engineers and production teams capturing extended live multitrack sessions.

Key features include a 480GB capacity in a 2.5″ SATA form factor and proven vibration tolerance. The drive is preformatted for quick deployment and supports standard SSD failure analysis systems for maintenance and diagnostics. These characteristics make it straightforward to integrate into established recorder workflows.

Performance details include storage capacity sufficient for very long multitrack sessions and precise sample-rate support for professional audio. The TSSD-480B stores up to 14 hours and 26 minutes of 64-channel recording at 48 kHz/24-bit when used in the DA-6400 recorder. Vibration tolerance is specified at 15G peak across 10-2000 Hz when idle, improving reliability in challenging environments.

Connectivity and compatibility are optimized for TASCAM DA-6400 class recorders via a standard Serial ATA interface. The 2.5″ form factor fits the recorder’s drive bay and the drive is supplied preformatted for immediate use. This ensures minimal setup time during field deployments or on-site sessions.

Typical use cases include capturing full multitrack shows, multi-day festivals, and extended rehearsal sessions where continuous recording is required. The drive’s capacity and reliability reduce the need for frequent media swaps during long events. Engineers benefit from predictable recording durations and simplified media handling.

Installation is simple – the drive is designed for drop-in use in supported TASCAM recorders and arrives preformatted to reduce configuration steps. The build quality is targeted at recording environments, and the drive supports standard failure analysis tools for post-event diagnostics. Overall, the TSSD-480B offers a practical, recorder-matched storage option for extended multitrack capture.
