00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:14,120
welcome to an unboxing of the zman external hard drive case and Virtual

2
00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:19,039
Drive that actually kind of reminds me of like one of my favorite games on the

3
00:00:15,799 --> 00:00:21,199
Sega Genesis which was virtual eraser

4
00:00:19,039 --> 00:00:28,080
you know when it turns on it says that VR love that game anyway this is the ZM

5
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:29,519
ve300 usb3 super speed One Touch backup

6
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:33,760
and safe remove oh come on if it doesn't have safe removal then it's probably not

7
00:00:31,279 --> 00:00:40,480
usb3 compliant but one touch backup is useful easy menu navigation using jog

8
00:00:36,559 --> 00:00:42,200
shuttle okay cool USB 3 Max 5 gbit per

9
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:46,680
second what else we got going on here we got a lot of different languages for

10
00:00:43,719 --> 00:00:52,399
where's the English oh I found it okay virtual OD that's cool virtu virtual

11
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:58,120
Optical dis drive so what that means is you can actually to my understanding

12
00:00:54,520 --> 00:01:00,879
Mount is or load isos onto this

13
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:04,360
particular external drive and run them over USB 3 without any optical drive

14
00:01:03,039 --> 00:01:08,479
whatsoever so you can take your whole library of whether it's like you know

15
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:13,520
Tech isos or whatever else you turn the whole this drive into a virtual USB CD

16
00:01:11,759 --> 00:01:19,439
ROM drive that contains all of the discs that you need that sounds like actually

17
00:01:16,439 --> 00:01:20,960
kind of magical very cool uh one touch

18
00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:24,680
backup and safe removal convenient and intuitive menus 2 and 1 half inch SATA 1

19
00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:27,119
or two hard drive compatible although you could probably throw a SATA 3 Drive

20
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:30,479
in there if you really want to it just wouldn't be running at that speed

21
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:35,280
aluminum body for enhanced Cooling and elegant design plug- Inplay easy installation Sub Compact design

22
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:40,960
convenient travel pouch provided well all right

23
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:45,399
then oo that's actually very nice looking okay we'll get to that

24
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:49,360
after software download the latest from Zan USB 3 C cable download the latest

25
00:01:48,399 --> 00:01:54,840
from Zalman no you better use this there you

26
00:01:52,439 --> 00:01:58,039
go so there's all your USB 3 pins and there's all your other more different

27
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:02,240
USB 3 pins remember USB 3 is backwards compatible so if you do want to plug in

28
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:06,759
a USB 2 cable you'll just have to find one of these guys so that's what's that

29
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:08,399
a micro USB I think it's micro USB and

30
00:02:06,759 --> 00:02:16,000
then it'll run in USB 2 includes a soft feeling but hard on

31
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:18,480
the outside Zalman carrying

32
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:22,319
case which you can still see oh oh that's neat so you can still access the

33
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:29,000
interface and the power button and the activity LED as well as the LCD readout

34
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:30,959
but it's protected neat quick guide

35
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:38,000
showing you Pres some stuff whoops that's not what I meant to

36
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:39,480
do okay then um shows you how to install

37
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:44,159
the backup utility

38
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:49,080
um to use ah here this is what I really want to know so here's the jog switch

39
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:54,440
previous file select file to the next file

40
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:59,159
okay you can switch between odd mode and hard drive mode okay here's what I want

41
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:04,280
to know to use the virtual optical disc drive is file must be located in theore

42
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:08,519
ISO folder of the device enter into or free from menu if jog switch is pressed

43
00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:13,239
for 3 seconds the back cool so that's how to use it that's

44
00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:19,519
fairly straightforward actually look at this they include a screwdriver and screws to install the drive inside their

45
00:03:17,519 --> 00:03:24,640
ve300 enclosure so let's have a look at the enclosure itself because for some

46
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:28,680
people these enclosures are you know hey they should look nice and I actually

47
00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:31,280
100% agree with that if I'm going to carry around my hard drive and have it

48
00:03:29,959 --> 00:03:36,200
sit somewhere it might as well be one that looks kind of decent especially

49
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:38,000
because the cost difference between um

50
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:42,439
like an inexpense let's you know what I'm just going to say it between a cheap

51
00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:45,360
hard drive enclosure and a nice one actually isn't that

52
00:03:45,439 --> 00:03:52,560
much it says remove film but I can't they're serious about protecting

53
00:03:50,439 --> 00:03:57,760
this LCD there we go very nice very shiny so there's your LCD activity LED

54
00:03:55,159 --> 00:04:02,239
there's your uh jog switch which can be pressed or toggled either these

55
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:05,239
directions there's your uh oh sorry that's a backup button not a power

56
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:11,040
button it's just powered if it's powered and there's your usb3 interface which

57
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:13,360
goes a little something like that ha the

58
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:17,519
brushed finish is all on the top you got your zman logo zman cool Innovations can

59
00:04:15,239 --> 00:04:23,600
you see the brushed of it ah there you go very nice the bottom has also got the

60
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,840
brushed going on and in terms of

61
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:32,560
disassembling the enclosure a nice look at this

62
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:36,880
hold on how did I do that oh you just kind of carefully you know what let's

63
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:42,560
install a drive because I think this is going to be so quick that we can do it

64
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:45,960
in real time where's my

65
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:48,080
drive see I can never find a drive

66
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:54,280
looking for I got okay so here we go I have a 2 and

67
00:04:51,639 --> 00:04:56,520
1/2 inch drive that I'm going to install in

68
00:04:56,759 --> 00:05:01,919
here oh no I'm just kidding guys this

69
00:04:59,919 --> 00:05:06,520
this is a Seagate drive from uh from a dead external uh hard drive it's a one

70
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:10,080
tbte so that's why it's like thicker than a standard 2 and 1 half in Drive no

71
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:16,120
no I found a real drive so this is a momentus XT 750 gig and the reason why I

72
00:05:13,639 --> 00:05:20,479
might use a momentus XT in an external enclosure is say for example I ran steam

73
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:27,880
off an external drive which by the way I do um that allows the momentus XT to use

74
00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:29,880
its caching features to cach whatever

75
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:35,120
games or applications that I most frequently use onto the built-in SSD so

76
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:40,919
whatever files come up an awful lot that is the benefit of having SSD

77
00:05:38,199 --> 00:05:45,319
caching on an external drive and not just on a boot drive so I may have put

78
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:50,280
this in the wrong way but here basically you know what okay I might not put in all the screws but here's basically what

79
00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:55,000
you do you just peel up the uh the trim here and then you install the screws and

80
00:05:53,199 --> 00:05:59,360
then put the trim back so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look

81
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:03,680
at the Zalman cool Innovations now I forget what it's called see the model

82
00:06:00,919 --> 00:06:07,360
numbers are tough for these things v300 don't forget to subscribe to lus

83
00:06:05,919 --> 00:06:11,280
Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos sorry guys this is

84
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:17,039
so easy I could have done it in real time you just plunk in the drive throw

85
00:06:13,759 --> 00:06:19,800
this in and then the screw is actually

86
00:06:17,039 --> 00:06:24,160
for oh now I misplaced the screwdriver oh there it is the screw actually just

87
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:31,560
goes in here which locks in the top piece which

88
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:31,560
locks the drive in place very cool
