Promise Technology is a recognized global leader with 30 years of experience in the storage industry. Because however most NAS models in the market by manufacturers like QNAP, ASUSTOR, Thecus and Synology require a good level of knowledge to setup and use others like Promise Technology do their best to cater to the needs of casual consumers and after testing their Apollo Cloud 4TB NAS today with us we have their latest Apollo Cloud 2 Duo 8TB model. This may sound as bit extreme to some people (especially the ones who are not aware of the benefits of owning one) but NAS devices have risen a lot in popularity in the last 2 years (sales numbers clearly show this) not only between professionals but also home users. With the Apollo Cloud 2 Duo now I can go back days to look at footage that otherwise may have been deleted and replaced with more recent content.As we've already pointed out numerous times in reviews posted both 20 several studies project that by the year 2020 most households (at least in both the USA and EU) will have at least one NAS (network attached storage) device installed. While I wish there were more, this is a welcome solution to the problem I’ve had with my D-Link HomeKit cameras that do record, but there’s no way I can look at backups after a certain amount of days. There are other little details that you might like such as cloud mirroring that I haven’t had the opportunity to dive into since I only have one unit, but one nifty feature that I find REALLY handy is if you have a home IP camera, you can save yourself some extra cash in subscriptions by connecting up to two cameras up to the Apollo Cloud. So in the event that Google or Dropbox DON’T pick up an image before I delete it from my camera roll, Apollo is a solid alternative to having all of my images in their true, uncompressed formats. While I’ve been embracing the Google Pixel 3’s ability to store media to Google Photos, the Apollo 3 is BIT more reliable in terms of storing my full resolution photos automatically via the app, as well as creating albums based on facial recognition and locations. Being directly connected to my Gigabit internet, streams come in fast and fluid, and if I chose to share the content, I can do so privately, or publicly, which is similar to the share features from Cloud-based platforms like Dropbox, however I can revoke access at a given time, without a monthly fee. This is one thing I know for a fact Dropbox and Google Drive have yet to compete with the Apollo Cloud. It can also serve as a shared server, like I do, for storing my movies and television shows so I can stream through my Plex app when I am not at home to watch them. This is helpful if you decide to keep backups of your desktop or laptop in the event it may one day crash. This is possibly one of the most innovative components of the Apollo Could 2 Duo as not only does it make transferring faster than attempting to transfer via your desktop to the Apollo Web Client for Mac or PC, but if you have multiple drives you need to move storage to, there are fewer chances files will be missed in efforts of transitioning all of your files via WiFi.Īll of your content is completely secure and can be encrypted to your liking. To the back of the Apollo Cloud 2 Duo are three female outputs, one for the AC adapter at the base, one for the Ethernet, and one USB port that is meant to both transferring files from a pre-existing hard drive to the Apollo or to expand the storage.
