    Noise isolation ideas for Terra server?

    Hey Andy, So sorry for the late reply. Is that fan pushing air up into the attic? - Garrett

    Noise isolation ideas for Terra server?

    I appreciate that idea, and it is a possibility. Getting an ethernet cable there in a 2-story home will be a challenge, but power exists. The constant ticking noise will get complaints from my family for sure, even behind a closet door. I just need something to muffle it somewhat. A 3U wall...

    Noise isolation ideas for Terra server?

    I'm incredibly fortunate to have a Terra 88TB server. As was noted in this thread though, the mechanical noise of the drives is quite loud (like old SCSI drive loud). New terra server (88tb) very noisy HDDs!. Unfortunately, I have one of those more humble homes/setups where I do not have a...

    SOLD: Strato 12TB for sale

    Sold I'm selling my Kaleidescape Strato 12 TB movie player for $5000. I'm including the remote control, power supply, power cord, HDMI cable, and network cable. It always sat on a shelf (never rack mounted) in a smoke and pet-free environment, and had rather light use. There are no visible...

    SOLD: Alto 4TB for sale

    SOLD I'm selling my Kaleidescape Alto 4TB movie player for $2000. I really only used the player to catalog about 250 discs. After that, it went unused, aside from acting as storage for some Blu-ray quality movies. I'm including the remote control, power supply, power cord, HDMI cable, and...

    Movie updates - where does it go?

    I tried your suggestion, thanks! There is now more space available on my Strato 12 than before, so I suspect the update indeed went to the Terra and then it erased the version on the strato

    Disc to Digital Price Reduction

    Is there any way to know if the disc to digital prices we see are better than the usual ones? As an example, the Pirates of the Caribbean series is around ~$16. I can't tell if that's the normal disc to digital price or if its better. All the ~$4 ones were easy to tell. :)

    Movie updates - where does it go?

    I have an Alto 4T, Strato 12T, and now a Terra 24T. When an update for a movie comes out, does the update overwrite the original movie if the movie is on the Alto or Strato? Or does the update get routed to the Terra, and the prior copy deleted off the Strato or Alto? I know this is less...

    Sound Drops with slight pop

    Your Strato is HDMI out directly into the Acurus? HDMI is a pain. I'd double check (unplug & replug) both ends. Also, try using HDMI inputs 8, 7, or 6 on the Acurus. Which HDMI out are you using? - Garrett

    Collection View Sorting

    Actually, it'd be nice to have multiple criteria and filters. Sort by alphabetical, filter by common sense rating, etc.

    Movie Updates

    Thanks for that explation John. I had room for 2 more 4K movies and had 5 updates queued up. When I woke up, the downloads had stopped and there was no more room on my Strato. I was wondering if I had to delete a movie before downloading an update, but your explanation covered what is going on.

    Fragmentation

    Sorry to bring this thread back up... but I'm maxing out the storage on my Alto and Strato 12 before adding my new Terra 24. Is there an amount of leftover/unused storage that I should leave on each unit to optimize performance, for defragging or other purposes?

    Home Router Recomendations

    Good point. I think I dismissed those when I was looking into their equipment, but its excellent to point that limitation out.

    Movies Anywhere?

    I think discs and any other "hard copy" concepts are going to fall off in the next few years. Disney already said they weren't planning on any future releases. Some companies have limited or stopped producing disc players. And studios would probably rather have control for copywrite purposes. I...
