Although the AVA RS5 can store a huge music collections, in lossless and MP3 formats as well as DVD and optional Blu-Ray discs, there is no need to be worried about ever out growing the server - adding new, low cost, storage is extremely simple and takes only a moment to complete. If you out grow the RS5 simply plug in the SQA-Ex - and double the drive capacity.
With TLS you can also rest easy that your selected files (music / photos) are safely backed up off site in the Tranquil Life Server data centre.
