00:00:07.359 --> 00:00:13.759
welcome to an unboxing of a product that's actually phenomenally useful and

00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:19.199
popular but maybe not as glamorous as like you know the latest new video card

00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:25.800
or you know CPU or whatever else this is the black blackx

00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:28.000
black I don't know this is the thermal T

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

00:00:30.439 --> 00:00:36.600
SATA hard drives SATA up to SATA 3.0

00:00:33.559 --> 00:00:38.760
that's SATA 3 6 GB per second with full

00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:42.800
support for USB 3 super speed it carries a three-year warranty and allows you to

00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:48.559
conveniently transfer large documents pictures or movies between hard drives and computers hard drive not included

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

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

00:00:54.680 --> 00:01:01.519
premium shielded usb3 cable supports hard drives up to two up to two

00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:04.119
terabytes I don't know if that's going to fly

00:01:02.559 --> 00:01:08.119
thermal T although we have some 3 terabyte drives coming that we can uh we

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

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

00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:21.000
they'll say supports up to 12 terab of

00:01:18.759 --> 00:01:25.079
storage when the reality of it is it was just because there wasn't anything

00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:30.799
bigger than you know a 3 TB drive when that Nas was um originally

00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:34.399
created and something else will work just fine so you actually get a fair

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

00:01:36.320 --> 00:01:45.799
it in that's like so balling out so you can

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

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

00:01:51.759 --> 00:01:59.360
as opposed to an SSD the label positioning will be somewhat more

00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:03.680
favorable aha here we go let's do a hard drive instead of an

00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:09.520
SSD okay so you'll be able to see valuable

00:02:06.360 --> 00:02:12.640
information like the capacity bam just

00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:14.640
like that okay so it comes one of those

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

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

00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:25.519
resistant and uh comes with a sleeve for a 3 and half inch Drive which also

00:02:23.959 --> 00:02:29.319
doubles as an oven mitt please do not use this item as an

00:02:27.720 --> 00:02:35.720
oven mitt you know disclaimer voice right um comes with a USB

00:02:32.480 --> 00:02:37.640
A2B cable that's a USB 31 so you can see

00:02:35.720 --> 00:02:42.599
the extra pins there and the extra pins deeper inside there comes with a power

00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:47.879
adapter doesn't come with an SSD or a hard drive according to the Box product

00:02:44.480 --> 00:02:50.159
warranty policy okay cool um

00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:54.319
instructions which is basically like connect the things and then plug the

00:02:51.519 --> 00:03:02.280
thing in and then like creating a partition okay and the black unit itself

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

00:03:04.920 --> 00:03:10.360
uasp so I don't know if you guys remember this but ASUS current

00:03:08.519 --> 00:03:15.599
generation motherboard support uasp which is an accelerated method of usb3

00:03:13.720 --> 00:03:20.519
transfer so it's a different protocol than the standard usb3 protocol that

00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:22.840
allows it to be faster so we're going to

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

00:03:25.440 --> 00:03:31.239
3 over uasp and we're going to see just

00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:34.879
how much faster uasp is than the standard usb3 transfer rates so we're

00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:41.319
going to use the same ASUS motherboard to test both transfer speeds and we are

00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:44.360
going to just turn uasp on and off in AI

00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:45.280
Suite in order to find the difference so

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

00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:56.519
conveniently easily tell if it's on or off there's this guy which basically is

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

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

00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:10.280
almost completely SSD in like every part

00:04:07.040 --> 00:04:11.959
of my life so I I no longer um yeah I no

00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:16.560
longer believe in like 3 and a half inch hard drives so

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

00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:24.680
here I think that pretty much covers it thank you for checking out my unboxing

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

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

00:04:29.280 --> 00:04:35.880
Pro cess or ASUS incidentally both of which are correct especially ASUS but uh

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

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

00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:50.759
probably wouldn't bother to like put this thing on in the first place so this

00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:55.360
is just a warning out there for everyone if you need to keep your data practice

00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:58.360
safe data storage use rubbers
