Media servers were popular last week at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

Media server are computers with a lot of storage that are connected to a home network so consumers can gather movies, music, and pictures in one place and play them back on any machine connected to the network. Unlike Media Center systems with photo, music, and DVR capabilities, these systems only store DVD content for playback through a home theater, although music support is expected later in 2006.

Kaleidescape of Mountain View was showing off a mother of a media server at CES. This Kaleidescape has 5.5 terabytes of storage on 12 disk drives. That’s enough to store 7,500 CDs or 825 DVDs.
