Reviews

	What makes this device so fun to have is it’s Cloud capabilities. All you have to do is sign up on Akitio’s website and it will keep track of your device’s IP. Then you just log into their site and it will redirect to your device. All of this for FREE. Huge kudos on that one. Nothing better than being able to access your secure files anywhere you want, including on your smart phone. Read More... Robert - Device Unknown (March 7, 2012)
	Rob takes a closer look at the MyCloud Duo from Akitio. It creates your own Personal Cloud that gives you access to your content from anywhere in the world. Watch video (starts from 0:48) Dave Graveline & Rob Almanza - Into Tomorrow TV (March 2, 2012)
	Is it OK to fall in love with a NAS? MyCloud Duo is a tough product to review, because there is much more to this NAS than one would expect. MyCloud Duo is much more like a media server than a simple NAS. Start Listening at 20:30 Steven Beyer - The Mac ReviewCast (Feb 27, 2012)
	The MyCloud Duo NAS is quite small, at 7 in x 4.8 in x 3.2 in. In terms of sheer functionality, however, this device is basically the same as most other two-drive NAS devices on the market. In other words, full-featured. Virtually any dual-drive NAS released within the last year or so is going to be a positive addition to your home theater or simply for storage of a lot of data.

	No doubt you have heard one of the most overused yet misunderstood term in technology today: the cloud. Luckily, Akitio understands and delivers the true meaning of this with the MyCloud Duo. Not only can you stream almost endless types of content locally but you can access this same data almost anywhere via the Internet on almost any device. Your personal media cloud is here folks, are you ready for it? Read More... Dusting Orgill - Digital Hippos (Dec 1, 2011)
	The MyCloud Duo can hold 2 HDD between 80Gb all the way up to 3TB each. MyCloud offers remote web-based access for when you are away from your home and a file browser with built-in media player to easily manage your files right in the web browser or on your iPhone and iPad.
