Abstract: First introduced at the Consumer Electronics show this last January, IoSafe's latest N2 NAS is the first network-attached storage device that provides data protection against natural disaster and hard-drive failure. Partnering with Synology, the maker of...

There are very little negative things to say about the ioSafe N2. The unit features very high quality construction and the protection it provides to the internal disks is unrivaled by any competitors. While cloud storage is becoming more and more pop...

Price (but cheaper and more capable than the two products individually)
I see the ioSafe N2 as the perfect marriage of disaster-proof storage and an excellent NAS device. It is certainly refreshing to see two smaller companies join forces to produce an extremely capable and robust product. The price may be a bit high, but is...
The ioSafe N2 is a 2-bay NAS, and the applicable disk configurations are JBOD, RAID-0 and RAID-1. Synology makes the RAID level transparent to the user using the Synology Hybrid RAID (SHR) feature. SHR can be set up with either single or dual disk failure...
