THE APOLLO CLOUD 2 DUO
Measuring 213mm in height, 123mm in width and 137mm in length the glossy white housing of the Apollo Cloud 2 Duo is not that much larger compared to the one of its predecessor.
Since the Apollo Cloud 2 Duo is a dual bay NAS we placed it right next to the recently reviewed AS6302T by ASUSTOR for size comparison purposes.
An intake port placed at the top of the Apollo Cloud 2 Duo allows air to enter the interior (in turn hot air leaves the interior from the base of the NAS).
The company logo and the power activity LED are placed at the lower front.
Moving at the rear we find the USB 3.0 port, RJ45 Ethernet Port and the DC in.
Removing the top cover reveals a small 60mm intake fan which is held in place just by two screws (removing the fan grants you access to the two hot-swappable hard disk drives).
Promise Technology chose to pair the Apollo Cloud 2 Duo with two surveillance drives from Toshiba and more specifically two MD04ABA400V 3.5" SATA III hard disk drives (featuring 5400RPM, 128MB Cache, 1 million hours MTBF and RV sensors).
