It allows the use of inexpensive IDE drives. This type of hard drive has become so affordable that you can leave the drives themselves on the shelf as the permanent storage<br \/>medium-you don&#8217;t have to backup to tape or optical media just so you can reuse the drive. ADAT\/FST is so efficient that it can accept any IDE drive made today, including<br \/>5400 RPM drives, and UDMA-33\/66 is not required. The drives required for competing systems cost more because they require exceptionally fast seek times to keep up with<br \/>the demands of multitrack audio recording in real time on a FAT32 or HFS+ formated hard disk.<br \/>2. Virtually instantaneous access time to any given point within a song, or between songs. Locate to the start, end, middle or wherever in the song that you like without<br \/>hesitation.<br \/>3. Longer drive life and less maintenance. ADAT\/FST&#8217;s audio-optimized recording scheme is less likely to trash your drive. Traditional recording systems have been known to wear out high performance hard drives in a matter of months. With ADAT\/FST, your low-cost drives can last for years.<br \/>4. No defragmenting required. Because data is written to the disk in such an audio-optimized, reliable manner, the ADAT\/FST never requires your drive to be defragmented. Even after editing, a track appears as a whole piece, not dozens offragments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[35082],"storecat":[],"itemids":[],"manufacturers":[33168],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out the What are the main advantages of ADAT\/FST? page at Sweetwater \u2014 the world&#039;s leading music technology and instrument retailer!\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/articles\/what-main-advantages-of-adat-fst\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"What are the main advantages of ADAT\/FST? - SweetCare\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"1.
