Not new, been around for quite some time in the IT world but due to an increasing amount of audio distribution systems adopting the TCP/IP protocol, storage no longer needs to be restricted to USB devices. The Linn DS range of products need NAS storage unless you want your computer on all the time and we can provide a solution for you configured to your needs.
Storage capacity has exploded recently with the introduction of 1.5 terabyte and now 2 terabyte drives. Our favourite NAS the Netgear Readynas Nv+ will cater for upwards of 6 terabyte and as you are not limited to only one, huge capacity is possible and with the introduction of HD will be the rule rather than the exception in the near future. With Raid 5 support to keep your data safe you can migrate your entire music collection for easy access from your PC or hand held device such as an iPAQ, iTouch or similar.
Visit us to witness how we can revolutionise the way you store, access and appreciate your music collection. With the major incentive being a massive leap in audio performance the reason for adoption of this advanced technology has many of our technology partners amused. (just as it did with the introduction of Plasma screens which were first used for advertising or information) NAS storage is mainly used by them for backup and security.
