Cloud storage.

Thanks to this heavenly tech, you never have to worry about lugging a hard drive around with personal data. It all gets beamed to a data center somewhere and magically appears when we need it the most, on a device that’s readily available.

The LaCie CloudBox takes it one step further with a cloud drive that connects to your home network for easy storage. If you were concerned about sending your data to an unknown server, you won’t have to worry about that anymore. The CloudBox, available in 1TB-3TB capacities, plugs into your router to instantly appear on all connected devices for instant backup and content streaming. It’s almost like having your very own cloud backup service in your home office, or wherever the router is placed.

What’s even more amazing is that as long as the CloudBox is connected to the Internet, you can access your data from anywhere in the world, or share private, password-protected links with friends and family.

The CloudBox is available immediately for $119.99 for the 1TB model. This one is a definite go on the wish list for the holidays.
