Shortly after install, they filled the total memory to 80%, and those aren't festival houses. The more storage there is, the lesser maintenance and purging will happen.

There is truth to the fact that people will tend to fill whatever storage they have until the point where it won't take anymore. We have some sites with as much as 10.5 TB...and they fill that up too. Then again, I have some sites with no more than 1.8TB of storage and they never get above 1TB. It is all in how disciplined the people are at purging stale content.

Mark,
the arthouses I have as customers are different. They claim, they need all possible storage to store films, eg for a possible school screening in mornings in maybe 4 weeks time, for a Sunday matinee, for a posible day in 6 weeks on a single spot. I personally only have a 2 TB cache in my SR 1000. It was always more than ample, but it is a backup and home projector in my case. I am in the process to hand the projector to a customer, which has a defective Sony, and we need something until the new projector will be delivered. Firstcomment I learn, "I need more storage! 2 TB is not sufficient"...
Luckily it plays from NAS, SATA etc. He will manage something.
These places do not have TMS systems, but many have collections of disks with hundreds of TB filled in old stuff. Similar to those that collected movie posters from every movie, for the unlikely change they will ever play it again, to be prepared.
Try to change these people, I gave up.
