Keep production data within reach and off the network path with direct-attached storage designed for focused workloads. StudioStack DAS Storage Sys gives creative and technical teams a simple way to expand local capacity without adding NAS complexity or shared-storage overhead. This configuration ships with 20 TB installed and supports up to 24 TB HDD capacity, with SSD support up to 8 TB for faster local tiers where needed. RAID 0 and RAID 1 support lets you choose between performance and mirrored protection, while the single 2.5/3.5 bay keeps the footprint compact. Three USB ports simplify peripheral and host connectivity in desktop environments. For teams handling large source files, scratch volumes, or project archives, the value is in the direct path: fewer moving parts, predictable access, and storage that stays attached to the system doing the work. TAA compliance also makes it suitable for procurement environments with sourcing requirements. It is a practical choice when you need dependable local storage with enough headroom to justify the investment over consumer-grade external drives.
