The 2TB CloudStor Pro CS-WV2.0/1D Network Hard Drive from Buffalo is a network storage solution with a wealth of online features. You'll be able to access data stored on the drive when you are away from home thanks to the myCloudStor.com web site. Of course, data will also be readily accessible when you are at home using your Wi-Fi network.
The 2-bay enclosure ships with only one drive installed. This allows you to add a second drive to expand the available storage capacity or to enable RAID 1 data mirroring. It connects to your network via Gigabit Ethernet, and features a USB 2.0 port for peripheral connectivity. It is powered by a 1.6GHz CPU for superior network performance.
Numerous network features are supported. You'll be able to share files with friends and family via e-mail, social networks, and the web. You can stream media files stored on your drive to your PS3, Xbox 360, or mobile phone. The drive is compatible with Mac and Windows computer systems.
