Kaleidescape, known for its high-performance movie player ecosystem, has introduced its latest and largest solid-state server, the Terra Prime 123TB SSD. Designed for movie enthusiasts with extensive collections, this new server offers a massive storage capacity and cutting-edge performance, making it an appealing choice for those seeking top-tier home entertainment systems.
The Terra Prime 123TB SSD server is the largest in Kaleidescape’s current lineup, joining the previously available 31TB and 8TB models. With its impressive storage capacity, the new server can hold approximately 2,000 movies in full 4K resolution, complete with lossless immersive audio. This significant upgrade in storage makes it a compelling option for those with extensive movie collections or who prefer to have a vast library of content readily available.
For those with even larger collections, Kaleidescape offers the ability to network up to four 123TB servers together. This setup provides a combined storage capacity of 492TB, which is sufficient to house Kaleidescape’s entire catalog of purchasable movies and TV shows. This makes the Terra Prime 123TB server an ideal solution for serious collectors or for installations in large-scale environments like luxury yachts or commercial theaters.
The Terra Prime 123TB SSD server isn’t just about storage; it also offers performance that matches its capacity. With a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet connection, the server can download a 4K movie from Kaleidescape’s servers in as little as four minutes, provided a suitable internet connection is available. This rapid download capability ensures that users can access their favorite content quickly, without the frustration of long wait times.
One of the main features of the Terra Prime server is its ability to simultaneously stream high-bitrate 4K video and audio to up to 25 different Kaleidescape players. This makes it an excellent choice for large homes or environments where multiple users may want to access different content simultaneously. The server’s solid-state design also means it operates quietly and efficiently, adding to the overall user experience.
Kaleidescape has designed the Terra Prime 123TB SSD server with flexibility in mind. Users can choose from a range of storage options within the Terra Prime line, allowing them to select the model that best suits their needs and budget. The 31TB and 8TB models offer the same performance benefits as the 123TB version but with lower storage capacities, making them suitable for smaller installations or for users who don’t require as much storage.
In terms of security, Kaleidescape ensures that all movies stored on the Terra Prime servers are securely backed up to the cloud. This feature provides peace of mind, as it protects users’ content from potential data loss due to server failure. The backup process is handled automatically, meaning users don’t need to worry about manually managing their backups.
The Terra Prime 123TB SSD server is undoubtedly a premium product, with a list price of $64,995. However, for those who can afford it and demand the best in home theater technology, the investment may be justified by the convenience, speed, and reliability it offers.
For those who may not require the extensive storage offered by the Terra Prime servers, Kaleidescape also provides a more affordable entry point with the Strato V movie player. Priced at $3,995 at Dreamedia, the Strato V offers built-in storage for up to 10 4K movies and is compatible with the Terra Prime servers, allowing for expanded storage as needed. You can check out the full unboxing and setup walkthrough of the Strato V movie player in the video below.
Kaleidescape’s latest offerings, including the Terra Prime 123TB SSD server, will be on display at the upcoming CEDIA Expo in Denver, scheduled from September 5 to September 7, 2024. This event will provide an opportunity for attendees to see the Terra Prime server in action and explore the full range of Kaleidescape’s products. Visitors can find Kaleidescape at Booth #2543, where the company will showcase the Terra Prime 123TB SSD server along with other products from their lineup.
