Synology
Not too long ago, we had a good look at the Qnap Network Attached Storage Drive.  We liked its overall construction and performance. 

Today, we turn our attention to another one, except it is made by Synology.  You may have never heard of the company, but they have been making these kinds of products for quite a while now. 

 

Let's take a look at what makes this product different from the nearby competition.

Rebit
It was with great anticipation that the Rebit finally landed on my desk.
First question you might ask: what is a Rebit?  It has nothing to do with a rabbit of course -- the company logo features a frog so that might give a clue.  It's not that croaking sound you might hear from the unit when it is doing its job but maybe it is related to the fact that this unit shines when your computer has croaked it...  Anyway, let's hop to it and tell you what this is all about!

A Rebit allows you to back up your system without going through the hassles of backing up.  Clear?
Didn't think so.  What would you think of the claim that a Rebit totally eliminates backing up?  And still protects your system in a continuous, transparent and complete way -- fully automatic?
Hard to believe, so let's check it out.

Promise SmartStor NS4300N and NS2300N
Like many, my family's data storage requirements are increasing at an exponential rate. High Definition home movies; work documents; 10+ megapixel photographs, etc. all require ever growing amounts of hard drive space.

 

And raw storage space isn't the only problem: Keeping all this data safe from hardware failures as well as maintaining easy access are important too.

In creating the SmartStor range, Promise Technology Inc. have come up with not one, but two plausible answers to this growing problem.

QNAP

It is common for households to have more than one computers these days.  Because of that, people want to be able to share files easily.  Usually, people do this by sharing specific folders on their computer, but this requires one computer or another to be on.  This is where the utility of a networked attached storage (NAS) device comes in.  It is a central storage place that every computer on the network can access. 

Today we will be looking at the Qnap TS 209 Pro II. This is meant for small/medium businesses, but can also be used in the home office as well.  What is different with this product is that you will find it packed with many more features than just your standard NAS product.  For example, you can use it as a media or web server.  Or you can use it to download Bittorent files as well.

Vox

The Vox BlackBox is a 1 Terabyte Network Attached Storage Drive that is all about storage. 

While it is great for storage, the functionality is just enough to get by and could use some more refinement.  This product seems to be a great product if you are just looking to store some files while utilizing more than one drive. 

This all-in-one solution includes the built-in software, enclosure, as well as two 500GB hard drives.
