Meridian Introduces Media Drive 600 –

Meridian Sooloos Digital Media System Storage

Meridian Audio has announced the introduction of its new Media Drive 600, a dedicated
system storage solution that can be used either as a modular element when building a
new system, or to add further storage to any existing Meridian Sooloos Digital Media
System.

Media Drive 600 is designed to house a pair of hard disk drives configured as RAID 1, and
as with all Meridian Sooloos components, it is always connected to the Sooloos extranet,
which means it can be remotely accessed for support and diagnostics services.

Housed in a case design that matches other recent Meridian Sooloos components,
including Media Core 600 and Media Source 600, Media Drive 600 incorporates a
sophisticated switch-mode power supply and efficient, automatically regulated cooling
system, both of which make rack-mounting and operation easier and more reliable.

Through its DHCP-enabled network connection Media Drive 600 connects easily to a host
network allowing easy integration with the rest of a Meridian Sooloos system, and
integrated control from any of the Meridian Sooloos control devices or Apps.

Easily rack-mounted, Media Drive 600 has a simple front panel interface with six LEDs
offering feedback on system status. The front loading drive bays also ensure that any
necessary service can be carried out without the requirement to access the rear of the
rack or to remove the Media Drive 600.

Key Points for Editors

 Media Drive 600 offers Meridian Sooloos Digital Media System storage for up to

5000 CD albums with automatic RAID 1 backup ensuring that your media library is
always safely mirrored on a second HDD.

 Meridian Sooloos extranet support means that Media Drive 600 can be accessed

remotely, and that key information about HDD status can be collected by Meridian
Technical Support. This information can then be used for proactive service and
support.

 Full network integration with all Meridian Sooloos Digital Media Systems means

Media Drive 600 can be used both to upgrade storage in existing systems and as a
component in new systems.

 Media Drive 600 can be easily rack-mounted without the need for any third-party

rack accessories. It also features an integrated power supply and cooling system
that make rack installation simple and reliable.
