As photographers, the issue of where to store our images has been an age-old challenge that goes back to the analog days of prints and negatives. While the shift to digital meant that most of our images now exist virtually, we live in an age where everyone has a camera in their pockets, and the ever-increasing megapixel count has resulted in the continued growth of raw file sizes.

Earlier this summer, we were introduced to a new NAS (network-attached storage) device called Amber from Silicon Valley-based startup LatticeWork. As the company's cheeky marketing claims, Amber is not just "another pain in the NAS," and aims to be a simple to set up and easy to manage hybrid cloud storage solution that leverages Artificial Intelligence to help keep everything organized. There are two versions of Amber are available. Amber One comes equipped with a pair of 1 TB hard drives, while Amber Plus doubles the capacity of the included hard drives. Storage capacity aside, Amber One and Amber Plus are functionally identical. LatticeWork was kind enough to send over an Amber One for us to review.
