00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:09.320
welcome to my unboxing and first look at netgear's ready for home so this

00:00:07.359 --> 00:00:13.519
particular one doesn't come with any discs it does have a three-year warranty

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

00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:22.240
gigabit Network Port but it's got uh 256

00:00:20.119 --> 00:00:28.080
Megs of RAM and then a single core Melville Melville melel Marvel processor

00:00:26.119 --> 00:00:32.480
so I wouldn't expect to be getting like huge you know 100 megabyte second

00:00:30.439 --> 00:00:36.239
transfer speeds or anything like that but honestly it's probably not what you

00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:41.840
need for a home networking device so what does n Gear think you should use

00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:43.520
this for home use storage use I mean

00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:46.840
this is all these are all sort of Fairly self-explanatory things if you guys know

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

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

00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:59.600
like you probably couldn't eat it if you wanted to

00:01:01.480 --> 00:01:09.000
all right moving along to the nas itself um so yeah supports a single drive

00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:12.720
failure pretty much any 2bay Naas as long as it supports raid one should be

00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:17.119
able to support a single drive failure so that is fairly self-explanatory I

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

00:01:19.520 --> 00:01:24.400
nasas that have like plastic cheesy ones

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

00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:32.360
because Netgear does manufacture prograde stuff so it's actually probably

00:01:30.119 --> 00:01:38.479
more expensive for them to retool a cheaper cheaper alternative um solution

00:01:35.720 --> 00:01:42.320
than to just use stuff an existing design they have that's very rugged and

00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:47.320
robust and just give it to the general consumer as well so uh that I appreciate

00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:50.680
mounting wise you unfortunately don't get the benefit of toolless mounting

00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:55.079
because that's not really how prograde stuff works but I I mean how often are

00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:58.759
you really going to be changing the drive in a 2bay NZ unless it dies you

00:01:57.240 --> 00:02:03.039
probably aren't going to be doing any of that

00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:06.920
um it's kind of nice looking actually it looks again it looks very prograde so

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:43.040
from any excess heat which can cause failures over time it has a Kensington

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

00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:51.599
feature as well because it allows you to expand the storage Beyond just those

00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:56.480
internal ports or do things like back your Nas up to something else and then

00:02:53.440 --> 00:02:59.920
store it off site gigabit Lan DC power

00:02:56.480 --> 00:03:01.159
in and let's see what else net gear

00:02:59.920 --> 00:03:04.720
thinks is important about this so they're they're marketing sort of a Naas

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

00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:14.319
all of your stuff in one place do continuous backups on your machines have

00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:18.640
uh well okay automatic expansion I think is sort of iffy because on a 2bay Nas

00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:23.040
there's not much you can do to automatically expand it other than like

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

00:03:25.480 --> 00:03:31.000
you can remotely access your files as well as mobile access them and they do

00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:35.159
have a private HD photo sharing site so I mean h calling something an HD photo

00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:38.560
is sort of redundant but having a photo sharing site other than Facebook is

00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:45.480
important to people and not everyone's techsavvy enough to set up like their

00:03:41.239 --> 00:03:46.920
own like web server and you know set up

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

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

00:03:54.799 --> 00:04:00.239
who don't know that there's something outside of cloud storage you there are

00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:05.720
no hosting fees there are no overage charges there's no actual limitation

00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:07.480
other than buying bigger drives if you

00:04:05.720 --> 00:04:10.480
want more storage or adding more nazes thanks for checking out this unboxing of

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

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

00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:26.520
I probably could have guessed an Ethernet cable hard drive mounting

00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:29.560
screws and a power adapter same things

00:04:26.520 --> 00:04:31.720
that are included with every Nas um and

00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:35.039
then there's also their resource CD which you can of course download off the

00:04:33.039 --> 00:04:38.320
Netgear website and their little quick start guide
