00:00:07.439 --> 00:00:13.679
welcome to another product unboxing and showcase online as Tech tips this is

00:00:11.559 --> 00:00:19.279
actually something that I personally am very excited about this is a hard

00:00:16.279 --> 00:00:21.359
drive but it's a very special hard drive

00:00:19.279 --> 00:00:26.840
this is from seates glex series now if you remember I talked about the glex a

00:00:23.560 --> 00:00:31.000
while ago the glex drives basically have

00:00:26.840 --> 00:00:32.800
a an enclosure around a Drive which

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:37.800
doesn't sound very Advanced but it is because the cables the optional cables

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

00:00:40.879 --> 00:00:48.320
fire wire whatever the case may be the cables actually include the chips sorry

00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:53.359
about that battery anyway like I was saying the cables for glex series drives

00:00:51.239 --> 00:00:57.600
are actually what contain the chipset that converts the signal from SATA which

00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:00.719
is the drive to whatever interface you choose now this one's a little special

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

00:01:02.800 --> 00:01:08.479
shortly so the first thing we find inside is a quick start guide the quick

00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:12.080
start guide shows us everything that's included as well as some basic

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

00:01:13.759 --> 00:01:19.680
included with the drive so here's

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

00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:26.840
taking it apart we're we're on a voyage of Discovery here together you

00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:32.360
guys okay no idea we'll get to that

00:01:30.600 --> 00:01:37.240
after next we have a wallwart okay so this is

00:01:35.360 --> 00:01:43.799
pretty self-explanatory this is for powering and charging your drive right

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

00:01:46.119 --> 00:01:51.600
be used to power and charge your

00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:58.320
glex satellite okay here we have a USB 3

00:01:56.399 --> 00:02:03.560
cable included that's a very nice inclusion because it does cost more

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

00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:13.239
the back and there's your usb3 cable that goes into your PC so there that

00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:17.640
goes to the SATA interface on the glex satellite which is here so we have the

00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:22.120
500 gig model

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

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

00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:35.200
mentioned charging the Drive how does this

00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:36.319
work okay give me a moment here guys

00:02:35.200 --> 00:02:41.159
never mind I got it okay that piece comes off the back if

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

00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:49.720
and 1/2 in drive but I mentioned charging it this is a wireless drive it

00:02:47.760 --> 00:02:54.159
is a satellite Drive the reason it needs to be charged is because it has an

00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:56.760
internal battery as well as an internal

00:02:54.159 --> 00:03:00.760
Wireless chips set so what this drive is all about is sharing your data

00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:05.200
wirelessly with your mobile device okay so it's uh

00:03:03.760 --> 00:03:09.560
it's most of the marketing and advertising is geared around the iPad so

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

00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:17.840
then we looked at the package but let's do the package now take your entire

00:03:15.920 --> 00:03:25.720
media library with you stream it to your iPad wirelessly it's for iPad Android PC

00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:27.959
and Mac you can store over 300 movies so

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

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

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

00:03:38.200 --> 00:03:44.680
2 remember this USB 3 cable that's included is also USB 2 backwards

00:03:42.920 --> 00:03:49.360
compatible you can charge it it lasts for up to 5 hours of continuous

00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:50.760
streaming and you can use the free app

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

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

00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:04.760
method so you can play up to three different movies on three different

00:04:00.799 --> 00:04:06.439
iPads or mobile devices at the same time

00:04:04.760 --> 00:04:12.480
works with tablets and smartphones too so that means iPhones uh Android phones

00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:16.720
iPads iPods all of that good stuff and your entire media library is just as

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

00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:27.639
interface but you can also just take this cover throw it on there like that

00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:30.240
and now it is completely sealed in so

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

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

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

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

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

00:04:49.400 --> 00:04:54.000
for up to 5 hours so that means you should take your charger with you if

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

00:04:55.880 --> 00:05:01.840
traveling okay we got little rubber feet on the bottom this is a nice addition

00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:06.039
because most mobile drives like this are designed more for pocket storage but

00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:10.360
this one seate has considered that you're going to have it kind of sitting

00:05:07.960 --> 00:05:14.400
somewhere and then you'll put it down and then you'll actually be using a

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

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

00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:26.360
Android tablet and I think that's pretty much

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

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

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

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

00:05:40.039 --> 00:05:45.560
onto it in the Box we already went through that and here's the support for

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

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

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

00:05:57.080 --> 00:06:03.400
maybe even three shorter movies on the glex satellite before you have to charge

00:06:01.440 --> 00:06:08.840
it very cool don't forget to subscribe to ncixcom my other channel to see the

00:06:06.400 --> 00:06:13.520
performance evaluation and review of this particular

00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:17.880
unit this cameraman figured out what this is It's a car charger that's

00:06:15.520 --> 00:06:21.440
outstanding so you're on a long road trip I mean the examples I gave were

00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:24.919
