Meridian Say….
Meridian’s Media Drive 600 is a complete storage solution for your Meridian Sooloos Digital Media System, including twin front-loading drive bays configured for automatically-mirrored backup and maximum reliability.
Within Media Drive 600 is a pair of front-loading hard drive bays, each capable of carrying pairs of identical drives with capacity of up to 2TB each. The drives are configured as a RAID 1 array with automatic mirrored backup: thus the storage offered by the system in its standard configuration is up to 2TB. These allow the unit to store approximately 5,000 CD albums in FLAC format.
Via Meridian’s Technical Support department, the drives can alternatively be configured as a RAID 0 array for a total of 4 TB primary storage, with backup being handled externally.
Media Drive 600 can be fitted with a range of drive pairs selected from an approved list published on the Meridian web site and updated as new drives become available for testing.
The unit includes DHCP-enabled network connection for easy discovery by other Sooloos components in the system and the Media Drive 600’s storage is automatically integrated with any other Meridian Sooloos-compatible storage discovered by the system.
The unit features a special high quality, high efficiency switch mode power supply for maximum performance and reliability.
In common with the Media Core 600, the Media Drive 600 features automatic replacement drive recognition. In the case of drive failure, the unit is simply powered down and at this point a new blank drive can be fitted. Once powered up again, the new drive is recognised automatically and the contents of the existing drive are cloned on to it with no need for operator intervention.
Media Drive 600 features the new case design premiered with the Media Source 600– developed from that of Meridian’s popular G Series components with a bead-blasted finish in silver and black metal.
It includes a highly efficient, extremely low noise cooling system, the Media Drive 600 is ideal for rack mounting as well as stand-alone operation. Its twin hard drive bays are front-loading, allowing drive servicing or replacement without requiring access to the rear of the rack.
