Back in June of last year (it’s still strange to talk about 2023 as last year), we took a look at Synology’s BeeDrive. This is a very small, sturdy and extremely capable portable drive for transporting and backing up your data. The only real problem for some users (i.e. Mac) at the time of release was that the software was not yet available on the platform.
Synology has informed us that the software is now ready to download on MacOS. Obviously, great news for anyone looking for a backup drive and considering the BeeDrive. During my review, and in use since, I found the software easy to set up and sync files between multiple devices and its capacity makes it ideal for transporting lots of data easily.
It’s definitely not a standalone solution for data backup, but it can play its role in your 3:2:1 data backup system. If you’ve just been waiting for the Mac software to come out, now is the time to buy one: it will cost you $299.00 for a 1TB drive or $469 for a 2TB drive.
