Datto gets official with Box 2 Box specs, pricing
Datto dropped a few details about its Box 2 Box peer-to-peer network attached storage device at CES earlier this month, but it's only now actually dished out the complete specs for the device, and the all-important pricing details. As we had heard, the P2P NAS is available in 250GB, 500GB, and 1TB versions, which'll set you back $350, $380 or $480 if you pre-order them now, or $620, $660 or $850 if you go for the twin-pack of each (non pre-order prices are a bit higher). Each of those are effectively computers in their own right, and come equipped with a 1.6GHz Atom processor, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, four USB 2.0 ports, 7,200 rpm 3.5-inch hard drives with up to 32MB cache, and a Linux-based OS of some sort.

Datto's Box 2 Box uses P2P, syncs drive 2 drive
Making clever use of peer-to-peer technology, Datto's new Box 2 Box network-attached storage drive is boasted to continuously sync encrypted information with another NAS regardless of its location, connection, or impeding firewalls. The 160, 250, and 500GB-sized drives will be packaged as either single units or as a psychically-linked pair. The company is touting no annual fees, but unfortunately the upfront costs haven't been disclosed yet. It sounds like the perfect solution for backing up your Office episodes with that secret lair you've got located deep within the Himalayas.
