We liked Datto’s previous Network Storage device with offsite mirroring, but we had some issues with their slow 10/100 Ethernet and loud fan. Good news for us, since Datto’s latest Z Series solves these two problems with standard dual Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, a fan that only spools up when needed, 1TB local and offsite storage, RAID 1, Active Directory support, free customer support and a five-year warranty.

It also looks nicer, with that new white finish. The downside is that it’s quite costly (it is a home office/small business solution), with a price starting at $499 for the 250GB model up to $1149 for the 1TB model with RAID. That’s not including the monthly fee. But if your data’s important enough that you’d actually go and pay for a data-recovery specialist to get it back, you should get one of these and save yourself the hassle. [Datto]
