Synology BeeDrive BDS70-2T – 2TB Personal Backup Hub
Your files, photos and memories – backed up automatically.
The Synology BeeDrive BDS70-2T is more than just a portable SSD. It combines 2TB of fast solid-state storage with Synology’s intelligent backup software, giving you an easy way to protect files from your computer and photos from your phone.
Small enough to carry anywhere, BeeDrive connects through USB-C and uses USB 3.2 Gen 2, delivering transfer speeds of up to 1,050MB/s. That makes it fast enough for large photo libraries, videos, work files and everyday backups.
Automatic Computer Backup
Install the BeeDrive software and choose the folders you want protected. When files are changed, BeeDrive can automatically keep your backup updated – much easier than remembering to manually copy important folders onto an external drive.
It can also synchronise files between computers, making it useful if you regularly work between different machines.
Back Up Your Phone Photos
BeeDrive can help protect the thousands of photos and videos sitting on your phone. Using the BeeDrive mobile app and Wi-Fi, photos can be transferred from your phone to BeeDrive while the drive is connected to your computer.
It supports backup from multiple mobile devices, making one BeeDrive useful for a household rather than just one person.
Fast Portable SSD
Underneath the clever software is a seriously capable portable SSD:
- Capacity: 2TB
- Interface: USB 3.2 Gen 2
- Connection: USB-C
- Transfer speed: Up to 1,050MB/s
- Dimensions: Approx. 65 × 65 × 15mm
- Weight: Approx. 43g
- Windows & macOS support
- Mobile photo backup support
- Automatic file backup and folder synchronisation
Deep Search with AI
One of BeeDrive's more unusual features is Deep Search, which can use AI to help locate information stored within your files and photos rather than relying purely on filenames.
This feature requires a suitably powerful compatible computer, so it shouldn't be confused with the standard BeeDrive backup functions, which don't require a high-end AI PC.
Why We Think It’s Cool
Most portable SSDs give you somewhere to put your files. BeeDrive actually helps you look after them.
Automatic computer backup, phone photo backup, folder synchronisation and extremely fast portable storage make this particularly useful for anyone who has important files scattered across their laptop and phone.
ITsCool Verdict
A clever alternative to an ordinary portable SSD. If you're buying external storage because you genuinely want to protect your photos and important files, BeeDrive makes a lot of sense.
2TB in something that weighs just 43g – with Synology doing the clever bit in the background.
Available from ITsCool.ie – a particularly nice upgrade for anyone still backing up their files the old-fashioned way.
