I think it really is necessary to have a more specific name.
I have two, very different, products corresponding to LaCie CloudBox:
- The first one was a small black one with a 2.5" disk reviewed here: 
http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/cloud/cloud-storage/462-lacie-cloudbox-reviewed
- The later one is a larger white one with a 3.5" disk described here: 
http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/nas/nas-news/31927-lacie-relaunches-its-cloud-connected-nas

IIRC the later one was originally called "CloudBox Family" although 
maybe Family was dropped when it was officially released.

Cheers,
Chris
