VidaBox Media Servers


What's a Media Server?

A Media Server is a device that:
  • Has ample storage for movies, photos, music, TV, videos, etc.
  • Plays back stored media
  • Supports multiple "streams" to other extenders throughout the home
  • Designed to be left on for 24/7, and available at all times - day or night
  • Should have fail-safes to protect data against hardware failure
VidaBox carries a complete line of media servers to fit different needs. You can learn more about all of our different models below.
