New RackServer from VidaBox Offers 1-Step Disc Archiving

VidaBox recently introduced their newest server in the RACK series, the RackServer. Designed to be headless, meaning no monitor or input devices are needed, the RackServer was built with Windows Home Server in mind. The base unit starts with 2TB of storage, but supports up to 7TB on board, and 16TB with the RackServer+Plus Expansion Unit. The coolest feature may be the one-step disk archiving feature named Disk Drop. Whenever an unencrypted Blu-ray, DVD, or CD is placed in the server, it automatically archives the media and looks up pertinent information: cover art, plot synopsis, actors, etc. At 4U tall and a mere 20 inches deep, the RackServer won’t claim all the available space in your rack, making it a good entry level server. It does need an extender to work, and VidaBox has many to choose from, including the new RackClient v2. The RackClient v2 supports 1080p playback and 7.1 lossless audio over HDMI. It is the lossless audio feature that makes the RackClient v2 standout. Both items are available now for your holiday wish list. [via]
