It features 24-channel ADAT Optical I/O, ADAT Sync in/out, Word Clock in, MIDI I/O, and an Ethernet port for computer connection and data transfer. Two hot-swappable bays accept standard removable IDE drives, and instant random access is handled via ADAT/FST File Streaming Technology.

Multiple units can be synchronised to expand track counts, and the HD24XR shares the same A/D and D/A converters found in the Alesis MasterLink.
Alesis HD24XR Hard Disk Recorder — buyer FAQs
What is the Alesis HD24XR Hard Disk Recorder and what does it do?
The Alesis HD24XR is a 24-track, 24-bit hard disk recorder built exclusively for music recording. It captures up to 24 tracks at 44.1 or 48kHz, or up to 12 tracks at 88.2 and 96kHz. It uses ADAT/FST File Streaming Technology for instant random access, includes internal editing functions such as cut, copy, paste, track-move and undo, and connects to a computer via a built-in Ethernet port.
How does the HD24XR fit into an existing ADAT setup?
The HD24XR includes 24-channel ADAT Optical I/O and ADAT Sync in/out, allowing it to integrate directly into any existing ADAT environment. Multiple HD24XR units can also be synchronised together to build a larger track count system. Word Clock in and MIDI I/O are also provided, giving engineers flexible synchronisation options alongside traditional ADAT workflows.
What converters does the Alesis HD24XR use?
The HD24XR uses the same A/D and D/A converters found in the Alesis MasterLink. The recorder stores audio on standard removable IDE hard drives housed in two hot-swappable bays, which allow drives to be swapped quickly for backup or extended recording sessions without powering the unit down.
What should I check when buying a used Alesis HD24XR?
Confirm the two hot-swappable IDE drive bays are both functioning and that the ADAT Optical I/O, Ethernet port, Word Clock and MIDI connections all operate correctly. Internal editing features such as cut, copy and paste are worth testing before purchase. Used units on 10K Used carry a 21-day warranty covering major functional faults; full details are in the buying guide at https://www.10kused.com/used-av-equipment-guide/.
Who makes the HD24XR and where does it sit in their recording product range?
The HD24XR is made by Alesis. Within the Alesis recording range it occupies a specialist position as a standalone hard disk recorder designed specifically for music rather than general data storage, sharing converter hardware with the Alesis MasterLink. Its ADAT compatibility is central to its design, making it a dedicated counterpart to Alesis optical tape-format products for engineers who want hard disk convenience within an ADAT-based studio.
