00:00:07,359 --> 00:00:13,759
welcome to an unboxing of a product that's actually phenomenally useful and

2
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:19,199
popular but maybe not as glamorous as like you know the latest new video card

3
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:25,800
or you know CPU or whatever else this is the black blackx

4
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:28,000
black I don't know this is the thermal T

5
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:33,559
this 5G it's a hard drive docking station supporting 2.5 in and 3 .5 in

6
00:00:30,439 --> 00:00:36,600
SATA hard drives SATA up to SATA 3.0

7
00:00:33,559 --> 00:00:38,760
that's SATA 3 6 GB per second with full

8
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:42,800
support for USB 3 super speed it carries a three-year warranty and allows you to

9
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:48,559
conveniently transfer large documents pictures or movies between hard drives and computers hard drive not included

10
00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:52,000
moving along we've got a bunch of other stuff which I don't think is really that

11
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:56,920
interesting and then over here we've got a bunch of other stuff about how it's backwards compatible comes with a

12
00:00:54,680 --> 00:01:01,519
premium shielded usb3 cable supports hard drives up to two up to two

13
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:04,119
terabytes I don't know if that's going to fly

14
00:01:02,559 --> 00:01:08,119
thermal T although we have some 3 terabyte drives coming that we can uh we

15
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:13,840
can check out soon and maybe it's just one of those things where when the packaging was done like 2 terab drives

16
00:01:11,799 --> 00:01:18,759
were as big as they got you run into that a lot actually with Nas's where

17
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:21,000
they'll say supports up to 12 terab of

18
00:01:18,759 --> 00:01:25,079
storage when the reality of it is it was just because there wasn't anything

19
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:30,799
bigger than you know a 3 TB drive when that Nas was um originally

20
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:34,399
created and something else will work just fine so you actually get a fair

21
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:38,439
amount of stuff oh this is cool check this out let's find an SSD to like put

22
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:45,799
it in that's like so balling out so you can

23
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:50,079
be all like oh it's smart look at this okay so there's ventilation holes on the

24
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:54,640
back and then there's a label reader on the front and when you have a hard drive

25
00:01:51,759 --> 00:01:59,360
as opposed to an SSD the label positioning will be somewhat more

26
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:03,680
favorable aha here we go let's do a hard drive instead of an

27
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:09,520
SSD okay so you'll be able to see valuable

28
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:12,640
information like the capacity bam just

29
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:14,640
like that okay so it comes one of those

30
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:17,400
for a 2 and 1/2 in and it's also Rubber and like you know shock resistant not

31
00:02:16,239 --> 00:02:21,680
that I'm going to slam the drive too hard on the table there the SSD shock

32
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:25,519
resistant and uh comes with a sleeve for a 3 and half inch Drive which also

33
00:02:23,959 --> 00:02:29,319
doubles as an oven mitt please do not use this item as an

34
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:35,720
oven mitt you know disclaimer voice right um comes with a USB

35
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:37,640
A2B cable that's a USB 31 so you can see

36
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:42,599
the extra pins there and the extra pins deeper inside there comes with a power

37
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:47,879
adapter doesn't come with an SSD or a hard drive according to the Box product

38
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:50,159
warranty policy okay cool um

39
00:02:47,879 --> 00:02:54,319
instructions which is basically like connect the things and then plug the

40
00:02:51,519 --> 00:03:02,280
thing in and then like creating a partition okay and the black unit itself

41
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:06,599
so so the reason we have one of these is because we have an upcoming video about

42
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:10,360
uasp so I don't know if you guys remember this but ASUS current

43
00:03:08,519 --> 00:03:15,599
generation motherboard support uasp which is an accelerated method of usb3

44
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:20,519
transfer so it's a different protocol than the standard usb3 protocol that

45
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:22,840
allows it to be faster so we're going to

46
00:03:20,519 --> 00:03:29,159
take a high-end SSD we're going to plug it into this enclosure which uses U USB

47
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:31,239
3 over uasp and we're going to see just

48
00:03:29,159 --> 00:03:34,879
how much faster uasp is than the standard usb3 transfer rates so we're

49
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:41,319
going to use the same ASUS motherboard to test both transfer speeds and we are

50
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:44,360
going to just turn uasp on and off in AI

51
00:03:41,319 --> 00:03:45,280
Suite in order to find the difference so

52
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:50,760
the unit itself is pretty straightforward there's a like power button it's a toggle switch so you can

53
00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:56,519
conveniently easily tell if it's on or off there's this guy which basically is

54
00:03:53,560 --> 00:04:00,920
just allowing you to easily position a 2 and 1/2 in drive or you can take that

55
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:07,040
out and I don't think I have any hard drives lying around actually I've gone

56
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:10,280
almost completely SSD in like every part

57
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,959
of my life so I I no longer um yeah I no

58
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:16,560
longer believe in like 3 and a half inch hard drives so

59
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:20,519
uh there you go but if you had a hard drive you would be able to plug it in

60
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:24,680
here I think that pretty much covers it thank you for checking out my unboxing

61
00:04:21,919 --> 00:04:28,040
and first look at the black X 5G maybe someone can correct me on how to say

62
00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:31,759
that I mean you guys do love correcting me when I'm saying things whether it's

63
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:35,880
Pro cess or ASUS incidentally both of which are correct especially ASUS but uh

64
00:04:34,479 --> 00:04:40,919
don't forget to subscribe to L Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos so slick was like oh I

65
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:46,039
don't see the point of those rubber things cuz anyone clumsy enough to you know bump their drive against something

66
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:50,759
probably wouldn't bother to like put this thing on in the first place so this

67
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:55,360
is just a warning out there for everyone if you need to keep your data practice

68
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:58,360
safe data storage use rubbers
