I have had the Strato V for about 1 year and love it. I'm a student at school and the Strato V was a birthday and christmas gift from my parents. Just wondering if the Kaleidescape - Compact Terra 6TB would be worth it? How much 4k movies could I store on it? I love Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision movies. Also I will eventually get a 5 gig fiber connection. So what's the max download speed on it?

Thanks and I hope to get a responce from this wonderful community.

Only you can decide if it's worth adding additional storage. The major benefit is obviously being able to store and immediately access a larger library. The Compact Terra 6TB stores about 100 4K movies. Download speeds fluctuate, so I wouldn't fixate on a number, but you'll get much faster download speeds with a Terra, in particular the Terra "Prime" servers that are capable of 2.5 gigabit network speeds.

Also, if your looking for a Terra 6TB, you'll have to be used, unless you happen to find a dealer that bought some inventory and has one available new, as one member recently did. The smallest "new" Terra's currently available from K are the 8TB SSD model, and the 12TB HDD.
