What are your recommendations for a home backup system? I was running a two drive external raid 1 configuration. It was ok for just photography but im getting myself into video and will need more storage space. Some say to use a NAS Raid 5 config others say stick to raid 1. What are your thoughts. Thanks in advance.

Hey Photos in Color i have been trying to search the web for a while on "how to transfer files from PC to Catdrive" for a while now but could not find any manuals or videos on it, is it alright if your can do a tutorial on that? All i ever found was only how to transfer files from a phone to catdrive only.

How do you back it up?

Does the NAS drive allow you to make a sharable link to a file so you can send it to somebody else? It would be really nice to be able to send a file without having to upload it to a separate cloud service.

I am always running out of space, this is a perfect tool to help me store all of my photos quickly, find them quickly, and open up to more clients.

I would love one of these! Super cool, thank you for these videos!

Hi, I received a catdrive from a friend, somehow his account link to the drive. And it won't let me log in to the drive. What should I do now? should I format it? And How? If you know please help me out. Thx

Should we access this only via router? What about the direct usb access to the computer?

Do you still use the Cat Drive? How does this compare after month of use? I ordered one, but haven't used it yet. Can I replace Dropbox with it? Would love to eliminate that cost with a viable option. I tried Lima, didn't really work. Thanks!

I think it’s great. But for me didn’t replace Dropbox. 1TB just isn’t enough space. Apart from that it’s great.

This looks so great! I have just started getting into photography and have been looking for something just like this to back up and store all my photos!

I just started looking into NAS drives. I’m using an external hard drive mainly for my photos and it’s becoming quite painful to connect it when I’m working with Lightroom. This would be perfect for me. Have you used it with Lightroom?

This looks awesome. Always fancied a NAS and this one looks pretty cool to boot.

Can this be purchased from uk

Thanks for that i am looking for a nas storage system that’s not too complicated to set up and easy access on the go is just great

This is pretty cool. I'd love it. Right now busy going through your videos learning Lightroom. So far your videos are easy to follow. Thank you for the help with processing.

This sounds perfect to support my photography business as it will allow me to access everything on the go love the white one

This is such a great tool! I would love to have this as I don’t have a good device to back up all of my work on, I am always sacred that I will lose it all one day so this would be incredibly helpful! Thanks 😊

These look amazing and would be really useful to me on my photographic camper van trips!

Never heard of this Cat drive! Thanks for sharing it with us, now I’m interested...

I'd love to win this to give a shot at NAS drives for the first time. I've only ever used hard drives but this sounds like it'd be incredibly handy with my photography business.

Hi Ed, that's exactly what I would need, been waiting for something like this for years now !

I want this because I am one of the first follower you had with your nice tutorial and the unforgettable dance. This product gives me the option to storage my tons of pictures without to carry my local HD on my gear. Greetings

I need this in my life as im working on multible computers and i have not found a system that is this stylish! By the way keep up the good work!

Cool video. Love your vids and the live stream

Fantastic product review, thanks for sharing this with us.

I travel a lot and this would be extremely useful for me on the go, thanks. ☺

Awesome! Not having to empty drive,cards or transfer is a game changer.

My external is running out of room, so one of these would be amazing! Thank you for telling us about them.

I'd like to have one of those because since I am just starting my photography business and I still cannot afford a cloud storage. Plus its looks cool and who doesn't want to own something as cool as this, right?

Thanks for sharing!

How can I store my photos from my PC? I bought the Cat Drive but only can store photos from mobile devices

I sure need one on these as I run out of storage space on site and it is a saver!

This is so cool. When my daughter and I are together I'm constantly taking pictures . Well she is getting shy and wants to see every picture before I post it. We both live in different States which it's hard to show her every pic when she's here. With this cat hard drive she can tell me which one she likes instead of going thru every photo. What an awesome awesome way to share our memories. We would love this please

Oh boohoo. Not only do you sound like a total creep taking so many pics of your "daughter" AND POSTING them somewhere, apparently, but you're also a douche if you can't take out 30 minutes of your "time together" to go over the pictures.

I am starting out in photography and something like this would give me a great boost over the local competition. I will be able to easily show prospective clients my past works on there machine's or my smart device. I would be able to send all photo's from a shoot digitally back home ready for editing. This would be an amazing tool in a beginners tool kit.

This is just what I need to store my work photos! sweet!

Thanks to your great teaching I am taking far more photos I want to keep, cloud storage is fine but with the slow broadband here its a struggle to use a Cat drive would be perfect.

ALWAYS need more storage and it looks cool!! :DD

This is so cool and it looks so amazing, doesn't even look a hard drive. Would love to own it for my photography and cloud these days is so expensive.

Hi Ed! I thinking about start my photography business. These NAS would be great for my "new begining"... Enyway - this is great what you are doing - thanks for your job!

I really need this device. My photos are really messy and this makes it easier to organize them :)

This would be great for storing my latest photos. I already have a NAS at home, so I could use this for special projects.

The design looks so nice(!) and i would use it to store all my photos. I'm really in a need of new storage and this would be perfect :) Thank you for your videos and live streams, i have learned a lot from you :D

Can you add a few of them in a rosery beads type of thing.

Looking forward to this live video!

Wow awesome product! If I win this I would be able to have storage for all my computers.

To finish my computer is telling to get photos off and I have no where to put them. Please help. Thanks.

Want this NAS drive as never tried this technology & looks interesting and beautiful

Awesome idea, it would be nice to have as I start out my small business.

I would need one of these!!

Thanks for sharing this. I love travelling and this will be good option for me to access my imp docs n photos all d tym. Hope this is my lucky comment

Would love some storage like this for photos on the go and easily sharing/storing photos with the rest of the fam.

WOW this looks great and the reason why I would want this because it can help in syncing my photos and I cant access it anytime I want

I'd like one of these, just starting out as a more serious photographer and burning through space fast!

Imac 5k purchased, WacomPro, now I need storage...the Catdrive by Halos looks awesome as an HD/time capsule. I needs one now for all the landscape shots I do!

Hi Ed, I bought my catdrive a few months ago. I just plugged it in but it seems like it's not working. have you had any experience with their customer service?

The company emailed me back to send them a video of the issue. I did... then never heard back from them. No Prob though, as it turn out it was a defective power supply. I plugged the usb into my spare Echo Dot power supply and the CatDrive worked.

funny enough, they sent me an email asking for comments from the indigogo campaign, so I replied that my drives were defective, and their customer support (which I though was non-existent) emailed me direct. So I have sent them details and waiting to hear back...

Hey, Ed. I'm in need of extra storage now. Hope I'll get it. I've been following your channel for a long time, and your Lightroom tutorials have helped me a lot in stepping up my retouching game. Thanks for the give away though.

Hey i'll like to have it, that's a real must have for everybody. Thanks bro!!!

This looks great! Would be awesome to add to my workflow as a wedding photographer. If I could add my Lightroom catalog, that would be a game changer!

I would love a cat drive to store wedding photos & portraits that I produce. It sounds like a great reliable product!

I need this sooooooo badly omg!!!! it seems amazing!

i love the design and im looking for a good and nice nas hard drive for month. i will help me a lot for my workflow to switch between my mac and my pc installation. thanks :)

This is perfect for me, I always need to access files away from home

Would get a lot of use of this to store photos and edit photos when I am on the road.

I bought DSLR on the summer and I currently just have my internal storages in my desktop PC, so that would be pretty awesome and needed device for storing all the videos and photos.

Super looking device, this could solve sharing large files with my buddy who runs his company a good distance from me & at speed too :)

The Cat Drive would incredible to add to my workflow for easier storage and it’s freaking beautiful!! Hope you haven’t picked a winner yet. Love you’re videos!

I do a lot of Motorsport Photography and at an events someone might want a photograph from a previous event this would be very useful to retrieve there and then

This would be the perfect fit for me and my roommate to acces our files for video editing

This looks perfect for my needs. Photos, vlogging, blogging and travel would be much easier. Sounds great.

I would use this for easyer storage and faster workflow between my phone, laltop and desktop computer. And it looks so stunningly beautiful (:

Wow, I would love to try the black unit. It would go perfect with my Spectre X360. As a photographer, this item is a MUST.....

Superb product.....I would like to have this hard drive as I am a photographer and click many photos .....I really liked the concept,design and usability of the cat Hard drive ...... Totally in love with it.

so cool!! would love to win this...i just started taking photography seriously with a few friends and was running into this issue since i have an iPad/iPhone but a PC for my editing. Thanks for the video!!

This it's amazing! I want to store edited photos of clients on it

Why I want this Cat-Drive? Easy! It would make my new-started business easier, being able to show some examples of my work on the run.

I really really like the backdrop of your video. Can you make a behind the scene sort of video to show us how you build it? Thsnka!

Nice. Like it for when I visit fam and friend I can access my pics and vid. Thanks

My laptop is slowly running out of storage, and it would be great to be able to access my images for editing from anywhere with filling my laptop!!

HI Ed! Great video, super product! I always dream about that type of device and now it's thru. This hard drive will make my workflow better, faster and easier. Please send me these hard drive!

I would love to get that cat Drive to set it up in my house and share space for my family members. they will really appreciate it.

This could actually help me alot! Backing up photos and videos are always a huge stress for me - I have had plenty of hard drives broken down. Using this system could give me access to my photos everywhere I am. What a freedom would that be, wouldn't it!

Hate carrying gadgets and hard drives to show people my work specially if i'm off on long bike rides and randomly meet creative people. This can definitely help the creative-lot a lot more... First time saw it on your KZread Channel... Good work. :)

Need cat drive for saving all photos as I am looking forward to buy a external drive

I would love this to replace my current network drive which is so so slow and won't allow multiple users to connect.

I want this because i am going on the user interface desigining and i had a website with my team so i am the user interface designer and a photoshop designer for them so i had lots of files to store ,being the beginer of desigining i really want to own this Tanq

Ed, i would love this. I'm so bored with dull external drives, and the NAS would be a new direction for me. Many thanks #themetune !

Yes would love that, I quickly fill my laptop with video footage and photos!!

hey! I would like the cat drive because my external hard drive (old laptop hd) is full, and I continuous shot photos, it's my passion

As a true fan of this youtube channel I’d love to win this! It does indeed look amazing and would come in very handy because I travel a lot. I also just like how excited you are about it ;)

Is the cable for the black one white, thats an awkward design decision??? PS they should have added a cat6 cat5 is much slower.

Hello Ed, I would love the CATDrive to supplementary my photos and video footages.

What a great product, if I don't win I will have to buy one for sure. How did I manage before? Access to my files where ever I am and my colleague be able to work on files also, what a must.

I've almost lost all of my photos because my HDD has start working bad...the CAT Drive will be an excellent substitute....also the Nas feature is very useful

Hi. Cat drive would be a great addition to my small photography business - Real estate and portraits. I could provide samples on location and tailor each session. Working now with external hard drives. Cat drive would be my answer. Also LOVE the Photos in Color videos- I always learn something and eventually incorporate into my photography. Thanks

Wonderful vid and content! Pick me! I’m an aspiring travel photog and this would be perfect for accessing around the world.

this thing looks SO WORTH IT

A dream come true!

asside from being only 1tb, this looks very cool! i need this because google drive is too expensive!
