Riley Server – the first public review

Andrew is working his way though reviewing the Riley CP30 – his initial thoughts:

“My initial thoughts when I took the CP30 out of the box was that it was slim, sleek and looked very cool. It is very heavy, but then you would expect that given the material it is made out of!

Look out for the full hands-on review this weekend”

MMC-125 Media Centre

The worldwide attention given to the MMC-12 has been amazing.  Being listed on numerous ‘high profile’ tech sites has generated huge traffic to Tranquil – welcomed of course, but also demonstrated that our chat/support servers need upgrading!

The MMC-12 (i3 version) and MMC-125 (i5 version) have been compared to Mac Mini (not really a fair comparison) quite an accolade (Apple stuff is very high quality)!

Beauty like this, along with the exceptional performance and silent is unique – UK design at it’s best

Thanks for all of your feedback!

HDD prices go softer

Thankfully 2.5” and 3.5” HDDs prices are going softer again.

Prices are not quite as good as they were pre the flooding issues, but the prices are much better than they were.

These prices have been reflected in Tranquil’s products, which makes them attractive again.

The Riley (Home Server) Storage Unit prices have been reduced, ie the 4TB unit has seen a £150 price reduction, the 8TB a £200 price reduction, and the 12TB SU12 (no previous price) is now listed at £869 – which is excellent value for a RAID protected 4x HDD appliance that is not only beautiful, but near silent too (no fans).

The SU (Storage Units) can be seen here.
