Description

The DELA E100A-H80 is an audiophile-grade USB music storage drive designed to expand and enhance digital music systems with high-capacity, low-noise storage. Rather than relying on standard external drives, the E100A-H80 is purpose-built for audio performance, combining an 8TB hard drive with refined circuitry, precision clocking, and vibration-controlled construction.

Engineered and manufactured in Japan, it integrates seamlessly with DELA music libraries, PCs, and streaming systems, providing a stable and highly optimised platform for storing and accessing high-resolution music files. It can also function as a playback drive via USB, making it a flexible addition to modern digital audio setups.

Key Features

  • 8TB audiophile-grade HDD selected through listening tests for optimal performance
  • Highly Stable Storage System (HS-S2) for secure, low-vibration drive mounting
  • High-quality clock generator for improved signal timing and accuracy
  • Dedicated power supply circuitry with optimised PCB design
  • Dual USB connectivity:
    • USB Type-B (to host: server/PC)
    • USB Type-A (to device: DAC or daisy-chain)
  • Rigid aluminium and steel chassis for vibration control and durability
  • Non-blinking LED design to minimise electrical noise
  • Wide compatibility with Windows, macOS, Linux-based systems, and audio servers

Why Choose the E100A-H80

The E100A-H80 is designed for users who want to go beyond generic storage and treat their music library as part of the audio signal chain. By reducing electrical noise, improving timing, and stabilising the physical drive environment, it helps preserve the integrity of digital audio data during playback.

It is particularly well suited to expanding DELA or other high-end music servers, offering a dedicated storage solution that integrates cleanly into audiophile systems. For users with large digital collections or high-resolution libraries, it provides both capacity and performance in a purpose-built design.
