R_volution NAS

Description

R_volution NAS

Easily store your music and video library and enjoy it in every room of your home.

*RAID 5 consists of block-level striping, with parity information distributed between disks. If a single disk fails, subsequent reads can be calculated from distributed parity such that no data is lost. RAID 5 requires at least three disks.

Store your video and audio discs

Powerful 8-bay NAS. Perfect for enjoying multi-room audio and video (including movies and TV shows) throughout your home.

The Rvolution NAS dematerializes your music and videos and stores them on hard drives, without compression or loss of quality. The Rvolution NAS is highly scalable and capable of continuing to operate even after a drive failure, without loss of content.

As your collection grows, you can add additional discs to increase the storage capacity for your video and audio content. A single Rvolution NAS offers a storage capacity of up to 192,000 CDs, 19,200 DVDs, 3,200 Blu-rays or 2,000 4K UHD discs. Multiple Rvolution NAS servers can be consolidated into a single system to store thousands of video and music content. ​

The Rvolution NAS provides secure storage for your collection using professional disk storage technology called RAID-5. In the event of a disk failure, data is automatically restored to the spare disk, without loss of content. The failed disk is replaced without shutting down the server or interrupting current reads. ​

The Rvolution NAS delivers movies, audio and video content, over a standard home network, simultaneously to Rvolution players throughout the home. Once CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays and UHDs are stored on the Rvolution NAS, you can enjoy them immediately from any Rvolution player in your home.
