Last year, when 360 Cloud Disk was sealed, we began to realize that although online cloud disk can provide many conveniences for everyone, it is also likely to turn into smoke for some policy reasons. This has caused irreversible losses to the data stored by everyone, and the continuous upgrading of Baidu's online disk during this period has severely limited the download speed of the client through various means. You need to purchase additional member services to enjoy normal download services, and the experience is very poor. In addition, more and more personal data and protection of personal data, photos, etc. Building a more secure, reliable and faster local cloud storage device is gradually on the agenda.
However, it is difficult for ordinary users to accept the traditional ontology cloud storage devices in terms of both price and complexity. Fortunately, with the progress of technology, there are many smart cloud storage products on the market, which can help you complete the construction of a private home cloud through a few simple steps. Enrabbit N2 home cloud disk is one of the products with excellent performance. On the one hand, the price is relatively appropriate. The price of less than 1500 is very cheap for a family cloud storage. Two drawers are enough for most user data backup requirements. In addition, Enrabbit N2 cloud disk focuses on simple and intelligent system experience. Although a more professional product like Qunhui may be more easily recognized by everyone, the system is more complex to use, and its actual use is not particularly convenient. The following is a report on Enrabbit N2 cloud disk experience this week.
The outer package of Enrabbit N2 cloud disk is made of pure white cardboard box, which has good strength and is not damaged after violent transportation. I also like the simple style. From the front of the product display picture, it looks more like a family wireless speaker. It's hard to think of this as a smart cloud disk. The whole package is simple and pleasing without too much text introduction.
Opening the package, we can see that the Ntu N2 family cloud disk is protected by plastic foam, which has a good shock absorption effect and can ensure the safety of the product. In terms of accessories, including power adapter, power cord, cable hard disk shockproof pad, screws and a manual. Of course, this product does not provide an additional hard disk. This test chose two 1T 7200 RPM Seagate Cool Fish.
I was a little surprised by the size of the Entu N2 family cloud disk. I thought it would be a bulky big guy, but when I got the product, I found it was a pure white, small and delicate cuboid, similar in size to a small storage box, which could be easily placed on a computer desk or workstation without being obtrusive.
Entu N2 family cloud disk is made of pure white engineering plastic, with rounded corners and comfortable touch. The front is a black LCD screen with sandwich design. The bottom is a hanging bracket, which can be used to put some trivial items. Large area cooling holes are designed on both sides to ensure that the product can maintain a suitable temperature during operation. The top is simple, with only one power key.
Compared with the simple top and front, the back of Entu N2 family cloud disk will make us feel the charm of high-tech. The first thing we see is two hard disk positions, supporting 3.5 inch and 2.5 inch models, which are very rich. Enrabbit N2 home cloud disk can support a single hard disk of 6TB at most, that is, it can support a maximum of 12TB of storage space, which is enough for ordinary users. Below the hard disk bit are various interfaces, including DC power interface, HDMI output, HDMI input, network interface and two USB 3., 0 interfaces.
Now let's start the installation. As a cloud disk that is mainly convenient, the whole installation process can be described by the word "fool". The user only needs to fix the hard disk on the hard disk rack through the snap, and then plug the hard disk rack into the cloud disk to complete the installation. If you are a 2.5-inch hard disk, you need to fix the hard disk to the reserved hard disk space in the hard disk rack through screws.
Then connect to the power supply and you can start the machine. Although Enrabbit N2 home cloud disk supports wifi, in order to ensure the stability of data transmission, I still recommend using a wired connection. Anyway, Enrabbit N2 home cloud disk also provides an excellent network cable.
Press the power button on the top to power on, and you will be prompted to connect the wifi. I am directly connected to the router, so you will be prompted to upgrade the firmware. Then you will be prompted to format the hard disk. It is a fool's operation, which is very simple. After the operation is completed, it can be officially used. The screen will show the local time and weather, which is not bad. There will be various indications on the top. The white indicates normal operation, and the red indicates fault. You can use this to determine where the problem is.
Then users can go to the official website or download Android, Apple and PC APP through the attached instructions to manage cloud disks in more detail. It's OK to register a new account, but the account can only be registered by mobile phone number, not by email. It's still inconvenient.
After the registration is completed and the cloud disk is bound, the file can be transferred. For me, the most important thing is the backup of the phone photo album and the movie on the computer. Before using the computer to synchronize data with the cloud disk, we need to open the SAMBA protocol of the cloud disk through the app on the mobile phone, and then we can see the drive letter of the cloud disk in the "network". Then drag the data directly from the computer to the cloud disk to complete the backup. As I personally use the weak to dross Great Wall broadband, the upload speed is only 10-11MB/S, which is not particularly fast, but it is also acceptable.
I also briefly tested the download speed, which is basically the same as the upload speed, which is pretty good. It would be perfect if you could directly play the movies in the cloud disk on the computer. However, although the Entu Cloud Disk can't play videos directly on the computer, it can share and play videos through HDMI connection to the TV. The operation is also very simple. First, find the movie you want to watch on the mobile app and select "Share" to play it on TV. The whole playback process was very smooth. There was no jam, which brought me a big surprise, but it was almost impossible to drag the progress bar.
In addition, we can also use the mobile app to complete the remote photo transmission function, which can better protect the security of data. It's very convenient.
In addition, N2 cloud disk said it supports Thunderbolt download, but some problems were found in the experience. The iPhone app does not have this function, while the Android and iPad versions provide the Thunderbolt download function, but there is no response after entering the Thunderbolt account and prompting for authorization. The functions of the app need to be improved. In addition, the account on the PC side and the account on the mobile side cannot log in at the same time... To my surprise, there will be conflicts. I feel that this is really a bit inappropriate.
In terms of security, the N2 cloud disk also provides a lot of technical support. The N2 home cloud disk can detect the hard disk plug-in status and power status through 3D sensors, and protect the equipment and data security from the physical level. It also supports the independence and privacy of different users. At the same time, it also has power failure protection, which can quickly recover the hard disk head after power failure to avoid equipment damage and data loss. The two hard disks of the N2 cloud disk are backed up to each other to ensure that user data will not be lost even in a small probability event such as hard disk damage.
It took me a while to finally save all kinds of movies on my computer to the cloud disk, saving a lot of space for my computer and better protecting the privacy of data. And it can be directly projected to the TV through HDMI, which is very cool. It's a pity that I have never experienced the function of remote Thunderbolt download. With a price of more than 1000 yuan, simple and easy operation, and multi platform app support, you can have a good guarantee of data security and storage. Entu N2 cloud disk is an entry-level cloud storage option. However, there are still many things that need to be improved in the app. I hope it can be improved as soon as possible.
