00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:09,320
welcome to my unboxing and first look at netgear's ready for home so this

2
00:00:07,359 --> 00:00:13,519
particular one doesn't come with any discs it does have a three-year warranty

3
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:20,119
it's not a business grade product so as far as the hardware spec goes it's got a

4
00:00:15,839 --> 00:00:22,240
gigabit Network Port but it's got uh 256

5
00:00:20,119 --> 00:00:28,080
Megs of RAM and then a single core Melville Melville melel Marvel processor

6
00:00:26,119 --> 00:00:32,480
so I wouldn't expect to be getting like huge you know 100 megabyte second

7
00:00:30,439 --> 00:00:36,239
transfer speeds or anything like that but honestly it's probably not what you

8
00:00:34,719 --> 00:00:41,840
need for a home networking device so what does n Gear think you should use

9
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:43,520
this for home use storage use I mean

10
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:46,840
this is all these are all sort of Fairly self-explanatory things if you guys know

11
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:50,840
what a Naas is then you know it's probably good this is the biggest bag of

12
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:56,320
do not eat that I think I've ever seen in a box it's huge like look I don't

13
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:59,600
like you probably couldn't eat it if you wanted to

14
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:09,000
all right moving along to the nas itself um so yeah supports a single drive

15
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:12,720
failure pretty much any 2bay Naas as long as it supports raid one should be

16
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:17,119
able to support a single drive failure so that is fairly self-explanatory I

17
00:01:15,159 --> 00:01:22,520
love the way Netgear stuff is built like it's like steel Drive cages I've seen

18
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:24,400
nasas that have like plastic cheesy ones

19
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:27,600
it actually feels like you know an appliance and it's I think part of it is

20
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:32,360
because Netgear does manufacture prograde stuff so it's actually probably

21
00:01:30,119 --> 00:01:38,479
more expensive for them to retool a cheaper cheaper alternative um solution

22
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:42,320
than to just use stuff an existing design they have that's very rugged and

23
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:47,320
robust and just give it to the general consumer as well so uh that I appreciate

24
00:01:45,079 --> 00:01:50,680
mounting wise you unfortunately don't get the benefit of toolless mounting

25
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:55,079
because that's not really how prograde stuff works but I I mean how often are

26
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:58,759
you really going to be changing the drive in a 2bay NZ unless it dies you

27
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:03,039
probably aren't going to be doing any of that

28
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:06,920
um it's kind of nice looking actually it looks again it looks very prograde so

29
00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:11,160
this is the duo V2 it has a USB port on the front it has a on touch backup as

30
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:15,640
well as power you've got an activity LED as well as drive indicator LEDs for both

31
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:19,080
sides the most of the intake is at the front but there's going to be some air

32
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:23,000
intake on the side here as well as on the side here and all of that is going

33
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:27,400
to be have air drawn through it with a 92mm fan this is one of the bigger fans

34
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:31,480
that I've seen on a 2bay Nas cuz they filled up the almost the entire back of

35
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:34,879
the unit with the cooling fan so this is great because it's going to make it

36
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:38,440
quieter and it's also going to make sure that your drives aren't going to suffer

37
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:43,040
from any excess heat which can cause failures over time it has a Kensington

38
00:02:40,599 --> 00:02:47,120
lock as well as a hard reset button two USB 3.0 ports on the back this is a nice

39
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:51,599
feature as well because it allows you to expand the storage Beyond just those

40
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:56,480
internal ports or do things like back your Nas up to something else and then

41
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:59,920
store it off site gigabit Lan DC power

42
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:01,159
in and let's see what else net gear

43
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:04,720
thinks is important about this so they're they're marketing sort of a Naas

44
00:03:03,159 --> 00:03:08,840
as a private cloud and that really is kind of what it is it's a way to store

45
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:14,319
all of your stuff in one place do continuous backups on your machines have

46
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:18,640
uh well okay automatic expansion I think is sort of iffy because on a 2bay Nas

47
00:03:17,319 --> 00:03:23,040
there's not much you can do to automatically expand it other than like

48
00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:26,879
add more USB but there you go um what's cool is they do have a a mobile app so

49
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:31,000
you can remotely access your files as well as mobile access them and they do

50
00:03:29,159 --> 00:03:35,159
have a private HD photo sharing site so I mean h calling something an HD photo

51
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:38,560
is sort of redundant but having a photo sharing site other than Facebook is

52
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:45,480
important to people and not everyone's techsavvy enough to set up like their

53
00:03:41,239 --> 00:03:46,920
own like web server and you know set up

54
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:51,840
the authentication that would go into that so something like this where it's more of an appliance type option uh

55
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:56,599
could be very convenient and then of course these are the kinds of things that you do have to explain to people

56
00:03:54,799 --> 00:04:00,239
who don't know that there's something outside of cloud storage you there are

57
00:03:58,439 --> 00:04:05,720
no hosting fees there are no overage charges there's no actual limitation

58
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,480
other than buying bigger drives if you

59
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:10,480
want more storage or adding more nazes thanks for checking out this unboxing of

60
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:15,239
the ready Nas Duo V2 don't forget to subscribe plan is techtips for more unboxings reviews and other computer

61
00:04:13,159 --> 00:04:20,120
videos I just realized I never showed you guys what's in this brown box I mean

62
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:26,520
I probably could have guessed an Ethernet cable hard drive mounting

63
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:29,560
screws and a power adapter same things

64
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:31,720
that are included with every Nas um and

65
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:35,039
then there's also their resource CD which you can of course download off the

66
00:04:33,039 --> 00:04:38,320
Netgear website and their little quick start guide
