Akitio MyCloud Duo storage device

Back in the days before there was this thing called computers, all “data”, or rather, information would be the better word to use, came in hardcopy formats. As in, you needed to file these away in their very own binders, and looking for a document could take you eons if you had a library to search simply because there is no real life F3 key apart from your memory. Well, glad to know that information storage has turned digital over the years, and we now have another problem on hand – how the heck are we supposed to be able to keep track of all the data we have accumulated over our lifetime? Akitio might have a slice of the answer in the form of the MyCloud Duo storage device, where this NAS gizmo will function in a rather similar manner to that of the Pogoplug.

Retailing for $149 a pop, you will need to provide your own hard drive in its enclosure, where will then perform all the necessary data streaming onto a local network remotely, sending all the relevant requested bits and bytes throughout your home or office. Heck, you can also access it from the Internet over the web, or use Akitio’s apps if you so desire. Each MyCloud Duo purchase is accompanied by UPnP-AV and is compatible with DLNA-supported gadgets, capable of supporting up to 3TB of storage space while you set it up in a RAID arrangement.
