Every Pink Faun Scion music server is standard delivered with a 1TB memory module. The memory capacity can be expanded to a maximum of 8TB to let you store music files internally on the Scion server. These modules can be installed by us during the production of your music server or can be added later when you need internal storage. Your dealer can install the expansion module, or you can do it yourself. Upon your request, we supply a comprehensive upgrade package with all parts and instructions needed for this expansion. Please note, that there is only one slot for a memory module available, therefore carefully consider which storage option (4TB module or 8TB module) will be sufficient in the long term.
Storage inside the Scion can be reached from any computer that is connected to the same network as your Pink Faun music server.
