Mine is equipped presently with 2 terabytes in two drives, one mirroring the other in RAID 1. The ioSafe is mostly the housing, with the actual storage options up to you. I'm pretty satisfied in knowing that if I put my data on my ioSafe and my house burns down, my data will still be safe.

That's more than any other service I can think of can say, save for anyone using redundant drives through Amazon servers. Though you can't expect to just plug the safe back in and use it, the data inside was safe and the folks at Synology would be sure to save it for you after you sent it in to them. That thing survived considerable punishment. I'm not going to spend a ton of time here because there are many other reviews out there that already cover how truly amazing ioSafe is at protecting information. This is far superior to the other fully-cloud methods which require you to upload that data through an internet connection, which is (for most of us), painfully slow. So if you plan to back up a truly massive amount of data, you can do it much quicker by connecting to the ioSafe directly and then access the data easily from anywhere. It allows for fast access on your local network and remote access from nearly any device connected to the internet. The ioSafe 214 is powered by a Synology DSM motherboard and operating system. That's mighty kind of them.įor this review, I was supplied the ioSafe 214, a fireproof and waterproof, network connected, multi-drive NAS/RAID storage device capable of holding and simultaneously backing up terabytes data. So if your home is subject to a fire or a flood, know that Synology will be there to recover your data out of your ioSafe at no extra cost.

It comes with 'the ultimate safety net' for hard drives, a $5000 standard data recovery loss service standard with every ioSafe. It's waterproof (for a time), fireproof and nearly crush proof. As I mentioned, the ioSafe is wicked tough to destroy. There are a few options for a personal cloud out there, but ioSafe is the only one that really feels safe, in quite a literal sense. So you might have heard of the personal cloud before, which puts all your information in a server that you can access much like DropBox, Box or Google Drive except without their privacy policies and threats of data mining.
