MyCloud

MyCloud Mini is a small desktop form factor measuring 1.3 by 4.8 by 4.8 inches (HWD). The box is surprisingly heavy—considering the size—weighing a little over a pound. Aluminum housing gives the NAS a sturdy, if somewhat plain, appearance. The front panel has the Akitio logo and one power LED. The rear panel has two USB 2.0 ports, an eSATA port, and a Gigabit Ethernet port. There's also a reset button, a power button, and a K-slot for physical security. You can install a 2.5 inch SATA drive but you have to supply it yourself since the device ships diskless. Internal maximum storage capacity is 1.5TB. You can attach USB external drives formatted with FAT32, NTFS, HFS, EXT2, EXT3, EXT4, or XFS. The device also supports USB printers. The internal SATA disk and the external eSATA drive being attached can be configured with RAID 0 or RAID 1 to expand capacity.
