Media Server

Digital music and videos recordings take up a lot of disk space. Even though disks are continually getting larger, you want a storage solution that not only provides you with more storage space, but also protects your valuable collection.

"The Vault's" Refined Automation VRAID™ disks have several advantages:

* Your data is not lost if you lose a disk drive. A new drive can be inserted, and the information on the other drives allows the new drive to recover everything stored on the lost drive.

* If you lose a drive your system can still access your data until you replace the drive.

* Since you can recover from a disk failure, this reduces the frequency at which you need to perform backups of your data.

* The time it takes to read your data from your disks is sped up. So your system performance improves.

* Add to this high speed 3Gb/sec SATA disk drives, compared to the older 100 Mb/sec. EIDE technology, and you'll find "The Vault" to be one extremely fast media server.

Couple this with two quiet 18x DVD Burners that have the capability of recording dual layer 8.5Gb DVD disks, and recording and reading all the standard CD and DVD formats, and you have the a lot of flexibility and safety.

"The Vault" will help you protect what you've taken years to accumulate, and allow you to put your entire collection in a format that will be available to you for years to come.

And finally, let us not forget why we are here. "The Vault" is built for Home Automation to be Always-On™ and extremely quiet so you can access and control your home or office any time day or night.
