00:00:07.640 --> 00:00:14.120
welcome to an unboxing of the zman external hard drive case and Virtual

00:00:12.040 --> 00:00:19.039
Drive that actually kind of reminds me of like one of my favorite games on the

00:00:15.799 --> 00:00:21.199
Sega Genesis which was virtual eraser

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

00:00:24.880 --> 00:00:29.519
ve300 usb3 super speed One Touch backup

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

00:00:31.279 --> 00:00:40.480
usb3 compliant but one touch backup is useful easy menu navigation using jog

00:00:36.559 --> 00:00:42.200
shuttle okay cool USB 3 Max 5 gbit per

00:00:40.480 --> 00:00:46.680
second what else we got going on here we got a lot of different languages for

00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:52.399
where's the English oh I found it okay virtual OD that's cool virtu virtual

00:00:50.120 --> 00:00:58.120
Optical dis drive so what that means is you can actually to my understanding

00:00:54.520 --> 00:01:00.879
Mount is or load isos onto this

00:00:58.120 --> 00:01:04.360
particular external drive and run them over USB 3 without any optical drive

00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:08.479
whatsoever so you can take your whole library of whether it's like you know

00:01:06.600 --> 00:01:13.520
Tech isos or whatever else you turn the whole this drive into a virtual USB CD

00:01:11.759 --> 00:01:19.439
ROM drive that contains all of the discs that you need that sounds like actually

00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:20.960
kind of magical very cool uh one touch

00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:24.680
backup and safe removal convenient and intuitive menus 2 and 1 half inch SATA 1

00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:27.119
or two hard drive compatible although you could probably throw a SATA 3 Drive

00:01:25.960 --> 00:01:30.479
in there if you really want to it just wouldn't be running at that speed

00:01:28.960 --> 00:01:35.280
aluminum body for enhanced Cooling and elegant design plug- Inplay easy installation Sub Compact design

00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:40.960
convenient travel pouch provided well all right

00:01:38.520 --> 00:01:45.399
then oo that's actually very nice looking okay we'll get to that

00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:49.360
after software download the latest from Zan USB 3 C cable download the latest

00:01:48.399 --> 00:01:54.840
from Zalman no you better use this there you

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

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

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

00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:08.399
a micro USB I think it's micro USB and

00:02:06.759 --> 00:02:16.000
then it'll run in USB 2 includes a soft feeling but hard on

00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:18.480
the outside Zalman carrying

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

00:02:20.480 --> 00:02:29.000
interface and the power button and the activity LED as well as the LCD readout

00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:30.959
but it's protected neat quick guide

00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:38.000
showing you Pres some stuff whoops that's not what I meant to

00:02:34.760 --> 00:02:39.480
do okay then um shows you how to install

00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:44.159
the backup utility

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

00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:54.440
previous file select file to the next file

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

00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:04.280
to know to use the virtual optical disc drive is file must be located in theore

00:03:01.720 --> 00:03:08.519
ISO folder of the device enter into or free from menu if jog switch is pressed

00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:13.239
for 3 seconds the back cool so that's how to use it that's

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

00:03:17.519 --> 00:03:24.640
ve300 enclosure so let's have a look at the enclosure itself because for some

00:03:21.760 --> 00:03:28.680
people these enclosures are you know hey they should look nice and I actually

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

00:03:29.959 --> 00:03:36.200
sit somewhere it might as well be one that looks kind of decent especially

00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:38.000
because the cost difference between um

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

00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:45.360
hard drive enclosure and a nice one actually isn't that

00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:52.560
much it says remove film but I can't they're serious about protecting

00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:57.760
this LCD there we go very nice very shiny so there's your LCD activity LED

00:03:55.159 --> 00:04:02.239
there's your uh jog switch which can be pressed or toggled either these

00:04:00.040 --> 00:04:05.239
directions there's your uh oh sorry that's a backup button not a power

00:04:03.480 --> 00:04:11.040
button it's just powered if it's powered and there's your usb3 interface which

00:04:07.920 --> 00:04:13.360
goes a little something like that ha the

00:04:11.040 --> 00:04:17.519
brushed finish is all on the top you got your zman logo zman cool Innovations can

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

00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:25.840
brushed going on and in terms of

00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:32.560
disassembling the enclosure a nice look at this

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

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

00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:45.960
in real time where's my

00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:48.080
drive see I can never find a drive

00:04:45.960 --> 00:04:54.280
looking for I got okay so here we go I have a 2 and

00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:56.520
1/2 inch drive that I'm going to install in

00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:01.919
here oh no I'm just kidding guys this

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

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

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

00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:20.479
might use a momentus XT in an external enclosure is say for example I ran steam

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

00:05:23.840 --> 00:05:29.880
its caching features to cach whatever

00:05:27.880 --> 00:05:35.120
games or applications that I most frequently use onto the built-in SSD so

00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:40.919
whatever files come up an awful lot that is the benefit of having SSD

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

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

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

00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:59.360
then put the trim back so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look

00:05:56.960 --> 00:06:03.680
at the Zalman cool Innovations now I forget what it's called see the model

00:06:00.919 --> 00:06:07.360
numbers are tough for these things v300 don't forget to subscribe to lus

00:06:05.919 --> 00:06:11.280
Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos sorry guys this is

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

00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:19.800
this in and then the screw is actually

00:06:17.039 --> 00:06:24.160
for oh now I misplaced the screwdriver oh there it is the screw actually just

00:06:21.960 --> 00:06:31.560
goes in here which locks in the top piece which

00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:31.560
locks the drive in place very cool
