LaCie has today launched updated versions of its storage solution, the LaCie Cloudbox, which has been re-designed to allow families easy access to media from multiple devices.
The LaCie Cloudbox, when it first launched, was available with 100 GB of storage both locally and within the cloud. However, the newly updated versions of the LaCie storage are no longer supplied with cloud storage but instead have increased local storage. Watch the video after the jump to learn more.
Enhanced Storage Capacities
The storage now available within the LaCie Cloudbox includes a 1, 2, or 3TB capacity NAS, and works as a personal cloud server. This significant increase in storage capacity allows users to store a vast amount of data, including high-resolution photos, videos, and large documents. However, it doesn’t come with any RAID capability, which means it lacks the redundancy and performance benefits that RAID configurations provide. Despite this, the LaCie Cloudbox offers a robust solution for personal and family use.
LaCie explains:
“Mom can share her photo albums with out-of-town family and friends by sharing a secure download link,”-“She doesn’t have to worry about privacy or size limitations. All the files are under her full control. Plus, parents can create private folders to keep business and tax files safe from prying eyes.”
Design and Pricing
The LaCie Cloudbox has been designed by Neil Poulton, a renowned designer known for his sleek and functional designs. The device’s minimalist aesthetic makes it a stylish addition to any home or office setup. The Cloudbox is not just about looks; it is also about functionality and ease of use. The user-friendly interface ensures that even those who are not tech-savvy can easily manage their files and access their media from multiple devices.
The updated LaCie Cloudbox is now available with the 1TB version starting at $120, 2TB for $149.99, and 3TB for $179.99. These options provide flexibility for different storage needs and budgets, making it accessible for a wide range of users. All versions are available via the LaCie Online Store and LaCie resellers.
Use Cases and Benefits
The LaCie Cloudbox is ideal for families who want to share media easily. For instance, parents can store and share their children’s school projects, family vacation photos, and important documents securely. The ability to create private folders ensures that sensitive information, such as business documents and tax files, remains confidential.
Moreover, the Cloudbox can serve as a central media hub for the household. With its large storage capacity, it can hold extensive music libraries, movie collections, and more, all accessible from any device connected to the home network. This makes it convenient for streaming media to smart TVs, tablets, and smartphones without the need for multiple storage devices.
In summary, the updated LaCie Cloudbox offers a significant improvement in local storage capacity, making it a versatile and practical solution for families and individuals alike. While it lacks RAID capability, its ease of use, secure sharing options, and stylish design make it a compelling choice for those looking to manage and share their digital media effortlessly. With competitive pricing and various storage options, the LaCie Cloudbox is set to be a popular choice for personal cloud storage solutions.
