Techopedia Explains Solid State Recorder

SSRs and traditional audio recorders (such as reel-to-reel) differ in terms of how data is stored and accessed, as SSR data is digitally stored in memory chips. SSRs are usually integrated with a solid state storage mechanism like CompactFlash (CF) or Microdrive (MD).

Key SSR features are as follows:

• Provides faster speeds for data saving and retrieval
• Saves audio data in multiple formats
• Compresses stored data by default
