00:00:07,439 --> 00:00:13,679
welcome to another product unboxing and showcase online as Tech tips this is

2
00:00:11,559 --> 00:00:19,279
actually something that I personally am very excited about this is a hard

3
00:00:16,279 --> 00:00:21,359
drive but it's a very special hard drive

4
00:00:19,279 --> 00:00:26,840
this is from seates glex series now if you remember I talked about the glex a

5
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:31,000
while ago the glex drives basically have

6
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:32,800
a an enclosure around a Drive which

7
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:37,800
doesn't sound very Advanced but it is because the cables the optional cables

8
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:43,039
for the drive they usually come with USB 2 and then you can buy USB 3 or eSATA or

9
00:00:40,879 --> 00:00:48,320
fire wire whatever the case may be the cables actually include the chips sorry

10
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:53,359
about that battery anyway like I was saying the cables for glex series drives

11
00:00:51,239 --> 00:00:57,600
are actually what contain the chipset that converts the signal from SATA which

12
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:00,719
is the drive to whatever interface you choose now this one's a little special

13
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:04,479
here let's take the product out first and I'll explain more about what it does

14
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:08,479
shortly so the first thing we find inside is a quick start guide the quick

15
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:12,080
start guide shows us everything that's included as well as some basic

16
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:17,479
functionality so let's leave that open and let's have a look at what we have

17
00:01:13,759 --> 00:01:19,680
included with the drive so here's

18
00:01:17,479 --> 00:01:23,280
something I I'm not sure exactly how this one works yet so um you know we're

19
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:26,840
taking it apart we're we're on a voyage of Discovery here together you

20
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,360
guys okay no idea we'll get to that

21
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:37,240
after next we have a wallwart okay so this is

22
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:43,799
pretty self-explanatory this is for powering and charging your drive right

23
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:49,840
here we have the USB power cable so this combined with this is what is going to

24
00:01:46,119 --> 00:01:51,600
be used to power and charge your

25
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:58,320
glex satellite okay here we have a USB 3

26
00:01:56,399 --> 00:02:03,560
cable included that's a very nice inclusion because it does cost more

27
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:08,759
there's a USB 3 chipset in here there's your USB 3B cable right there going into

28
00:02:07,079 --> 00:02:13,239
the back and there's your usb3 cable that goes into your PC so there that

29
00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:17,640
goes to the SATA interface on the glex satellite which is here so we have the

30
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:22,120
500 gig model

31
00:02:19,239 --> 00:02:26,519
okay now it's a little heavier than most of the 2 and 1/2 in drives that you're

32
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:30,879
going to find on the market and there's a very good reason for it because now I

33
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:35,200
mentioned charging the Drive how does this

34
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:36,319
work okay give me a moment here guys

35
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:41,159
never mind I got it okay that piece comes off the back if

36
00:02:38,959 --> 00:02:45,200
you do want to use the glex interface on the back so there now it's a normal 2

37
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:49,720
and 1/2 in drive but I mentioned charging it this is a wireless drive it

38
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:54,159
is a satellite Drive the reason it needs to be charged is because it has an

39
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:56,760
internal battery as well as an internal

40
00:02:54,159 --> 00:03:00,760
Wireless chips set so what this drive is all about is sharing your data

41
00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:05,200
wirelessly with your mobile device okay so it's uh

42
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:09,560
it's most of the marketing and advertising is geared around the iPad so

43
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:14,080
here's what Seagate has to say for themselves I know I did this kind of backwards we looked at the product first

44
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:17,840
then we looked at the package but let's do the package now take your entire

45
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:25,720
media library with you stream it to your iPad wirelessly it's for iPad Android PC

46
00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:27,959
and Mac you can store over 300 movies so

47
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:31,959
uh just so you guys are clear I'm not only going to show iPad in this video so

48
00:03:29,879 --> 00:03:35,760
I you know I have a zoom here as well so when I do the demo video of this product

49
00:03:33,879 --> 00:03:40,319
I will be showing it on both platforms so you can fill it up using usb3 or USB

50
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:44,680
2 remember this USB 3 cable that's included is also USB 2 backwards

51
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:49,360
compatible you can charge it it lasts for up to 5 hours of continuous

52
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,760
streaming and you can use the free app

53
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:55,360
or your devic's web browser to stream your entire media library wherever you are and we'll have to try that we'll

54
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:59,280
have to try the uh the Apple uh app store app as well as the uh browsing

55
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:04,760
method so you can play up to three different movies on three different

56
00:04:00,799 --> 00:04:06,439
iPads or mobile devices at the same time

57
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:12,480
works with tablets and smartphones too so that means iPhones uh Android phones

58
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:16,720
iPads iPods all of that good stuff and your entire media library is just as

59
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:20,840
mobile as your iPad now so I showed you guys that it does work with the glex

60
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:27,639
interface but you can also just take this cover throw it on there like that

61
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:30,240
and now it is completely sealed in so

62
00:04:27,639 --> 00:04:33,680
all you're going to be using it as is a wireless device so I press the power

63
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:38,960
button you can see it's got a power LED as well as a wireless activity LED you

64
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:43,120
got your Cate logo on the top I know I haven't really shown the drive very well

65
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:47,800
yet there's the power button on the side okay got that over there we got our

66
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:51,199
power in so that's your charging you'll need that to charge it remember it lasts

67
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:54,000
for up to 5 hours so that means you should take your charger with you if

68
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:57,720
you're going to be on a long flight for example or if you're going uh if you're

69
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:01,840
traveling okay we got little rubber feet on the bottom this is a nice addition

70
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:06,039
because most mobile drives like this are designed more for pocket storage but

71
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:10,360
this one seate has considered that you're going to have it kind of sitting

72
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:14,400
somewhere and then you'll put it down and then you'll actually be using a

73
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:18,800
device nearby so they've accounted for it to not slip off of a surface that you

74
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:22,360
put it on while you're using it to watch uh movies on your iPad or on your

75
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:26,360
Android tablet and I think that's pretty much

76
00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:30,520
everything there is for me to say about it at the moment um why don't you just

77
00:05:28,919 --> 00:05:34,479
come over here and have a look at the system requirements so I'll let you guys

78
00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:37,520
read this if you're curious about it but obviously you'll need some kind of a

79
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:42,120
mobile device with Wi-Fi you'll need a PC or Mac in order to load the files

80
00:05:40,039 --> 00:05:45,560
onto it in the Box we already went through that and here's the support for

81
00:05:44,280 --> 00:05:49,319
file type so you guys should check this out and you do get up to 25 hours of

82
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:54,319
standby so that's really handy so you charge it up before you leave you throw it in your bag and then you can actually

83
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:59,720
use it continuously for up to 5 hours so you can watch at least two full movies

84
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:03,400
maybe even three shorter movies on the glex satellite before you have to charge

85
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:08,840
it very cool don't forget to subscribe to ncixcom my other channel to see the
