How to Compare & Choose a Media Center

If you're not certain about the number of Blu-rays/DVDs that need to be stored, consider choosing the media center with the field-upgradability, which would be the LUXv2, which can start with 2TB, and then be upgraded to 14TB onboard at any time later.

Even if you run out of space on a RackClientV3, note that you can seamless add a server later on grow storage. Connecting via a single CAT5e/6, there is no lapse in service, & no need to send anything back.

While this is better than having no backups at all, relying purely on backups has many disadvantages, such as:

· It takes some time to fully restore a system
  - Time for replacement parts to arrive
  - Time for a technician to repair the unit
· Backups needs to be done on a daily basis
· New content since last backup is vulnerable
· The backup itself may fail

With RAID protection, all these disadvantages are eliminated. Even if one hard drive fails, the system's special hardware takes over and lets the server keep on operating, without interruption! All of your priceless data is still safe and protected.

Since Media Centers are ideally designed for one zone, even if you run out of space with the RackClientV3, you can always add a vWHS server at anytime for seamless integration!

What if you need both RAID protection and Expandability? Consider starting with our RackServerV2 or RACK24 - which provide outstanding protection and massive storage!
