It’s pretty cost-effective for an average person as well. Not only does this personal storage solution have the coolest name ever, the Apollo has an insane amount of storage space cram packed into a tiny box. The Apollo comes with a two-year warranty. You're buying an alternative to an online service in a box, with a one-time purchase price instead of a monthly fee. Unlike with a regular NAS, Promise doesn't specify what processor and operating system the device is running, and for most users it's not relevant anyway since it doesn't feature transcoding or media services that would tax other NAS's processors. That's good enough for hundreds of thousands of pictures and music files, or several hundred hours of HD video. The Apollo comes in only one configuration, with 4TB of hard drive storage. A single LED on the front panel lets you know its power status, or when someone is accessing the storage. It has an AC adapter jack, a Gigabit Ethernet port in the back, along with a single USB 3.0 port for backing up the personal cloud to USB devices like external hard drives and flash drives. Its glossy white polycarbonate body measures 7.5 by 2.4 by 5.6 inches (HWD), so it will fit fine next to your home network router. The Apollo looks like a standard desktop external hard drive. Think of it as the personal network storage for those who don't want to muck about with complicated share rules and server settings. You can also use it to back up and share files on your Macs or PCs, but it's very simplistic compared with a full-service NAS like our top pick, the Western Digital My Cloud Mirror Gen 2. It is easy to set up on your home network, where it will automatically back up all the snapshots and videos you take on your smartphone. The Promise Apollo ($299) is presented as a personal cloud storage solution, but physically it's a simplified network-attached storage (NAS) device. You don’t have to be running a business to see the benefits of using this kind of device: These devices are perfect for the average Joe. There are a few devices on the market that target that bulky storage solution you’re currently drowning in with something easier and sleeker. Perhaps it’s time to invest in your own cloud. It can be a pretty daunting task to coordinate file backups of more than one external drive. Many people run into an issue of space: there’s no more space on the hard drive for the hundreds of pictures they took of their dog or they’re running out of space on their desk to support all the external hard drives they keep buying to back up their photos. Keeping up with your digital files can be daunting.
