Lenovo Beacon was launched in 2014 as the brand’s first personal cloud storage device. Since then the company has released a number of different models with varying functionalities. The company has now announced a new cloud storage product dubbed Lenovo Personal Cloud T2.Lenovo Personal Cloud T2 Personal cloud storage provides a physical storage unit for safe keeping at home. Lenovo Personal Cloud T2 is a NAS (Network-attached storage) device that provides a file-level storage architecture that makes stored data more accessible to a networked device.
On the core hardware, the cloud storage is
powered by the Realtek RTD1296 (quad-core A53) processor with 2GB DDR4 memory,
and there is 8GB eMMC 5.1 flash memory onboard. The device also comes with a
Gigabit Ethernet port as well as a USB-A 3.0 port and a USB-C 3.0 port. The
device further supports RAID 1 dual-disk mutual backup. RAID stands for
“redundant array of independent disks,” and is a way of storing data on
multiple drives. This method provides drive redundancy and ensures that if one
disk fails, the second disk is available to retrieve the data to maintain data
security. The device also has a built-in noise-less cooling fan.Lenovo Personal
