Solid State Drive storage is the latest way of storing audio library material, or items ready for broadcast, or indeed any other sort of data. Although magnetic hard drives are still the most cost efficient, especially when considering volume or space, it is possible to use something better and faster.

Totally solid state storage (often called 'flash drives') is the method where the data is burned onto a network of circuits contained within silicon microchips. Using of these Solid-State Storage Drives removes the risk of mechanical breakdown, which is currently the biggest cause of failure in data storage.

The amount of storage space required is set to plummet still further as new methods come on stream. The huge increases in size and reliability in hard drives mean that complete music collections can easily be stored on a single unit, and at far better quality than MP3, the usual standard that's tolerated by consumers.

 

Many radio stations keep all audio as  uncompressed audio; usually in the .AIFF or .WAV formats. It's 'best practice', especially in the audio storage and editing stages, as serial stages of compression can result in some uncomfortable sounding artefacts. Multiple compressions result in poor fidelity (audio quality) by the time it reaches the listeners ear. 

By using Network Attached Storage documents, reports, music and videos can be shared with anyone who has access to the network making NAS an ideal audio library and business storage solution.

 

Each folder of material can be given its own access codes shutting out any user on the network sho should not have access to items, and, probably more importantly for PDs, preventing anyone uploading material for broadcast not properly authorised.

Network Attached Storage (NAS) allows multiple users to store and share files, including music and other audio tracks, in a centralised location rather than individuals storing files on their own computers. An NAS connected into a local network will give big savings in time and storage , enabling multiple operators to access programme material more readilly.

These offer up to 4 Gb of storage; several are usually connected together in an array, offering several gigs of storage, more than sufficient to store say 100,000 or even a million music tracks.
