all right we're doing some video coverage on the LG this is the N1 T1 Nas
unit so it's a combination Nas unit external Optical and USB drive so I'm
using their Nas detector software and I
have successfully located the LG Nas
so that was easy would you like to create a desktop icon for the selected
NAS network folder yes okay that was
relatively simple so why don't do a quick speed test and then I'm actually
going to I've installed two pieces of LG software the nas Monitor and the nas
detector so I'm launching the nas monitor right now you can see I just use
their dis and click on those and then install them so here we've got the nas
monitor launching hopefully shortly is
this it y there it is uh okay so about Nas
monitor open
uh why don't we open the web men
here we go so hm I don't have a user ID
it must have a default one I'm going to try admin with no
password sometimes it's admin I may have to come back
shortly hey it's admin admin that was easy Okay so we've got a bunch of
different stuff in here you can see that we have the uh the basics of our Nas so
uh usage amount is all at around 1% we've got the firmware revision the fan
is set to silent let's see what else we can look at here so here's all of our
Network info so it's the system name system description you can change all
that good stuff IP address you can set it to obtain one manually or not uh
system time we have a number of other things
that we can check out here so power it
has different power settings okay that's pretty neat wow it's got a ton of stuff
in here you can do firmware updates uh from within this uh this menu right
here see mail notification so you can get mail notification when let's see
notification trigger hard drive status reports okay cool cool you can set up
user
accounts as well as shared folder names
you can do file backup so you can it looks like you can back up to DVD which
would be kind of neat Okay so it's actually got built-in burning software
right into the web menu so you throw a DVD in there and you can uh back up
anything from your hard drive to the dis you can rename your disc to something
else that's kind of cool it has a backup button so that's for the optical drive
data backup or backup to image so you have a couple different options you can
schedule backups you can do USB backup and it also supports Apple Time Machine
so you can set it to which volumes you want to back up so you can do torrent
you can have a network printer it's a file server and finally it's got an
iTunes server as well as the
DLNA okay so that is pretty much all I
wanted to say about this particular menu let's do a quick performance test so I
have uh okay I guess we'll know pretty quick whether or not it's working at
gigabit speeds but I have a movie file so this is a 266 megabyte file and I'm
going to go ahead and cut and paste it
into the public volume let's see how how long it takes oh I need permission okay
maybe I won't put it in there okay let's try X hard
drive
cut oh okay maybe I just need to enter that admin
admin because you can set up different stuff yeah yeah there we go okay so
paste let's see how long it
takes okay so far that's looking at kind of like that's looking at about like 10
100 speeds but we will know for sure
when we actually do the read test from the NZ so remember if you want to know
exactly how fast it's going I'll don't use this number here the one there
instead you should use the total size of the file 266 Megs over the amount of
time it took to copy paste it so let's
go ahead and paste that to the desktop and let's see if that goes any faster
yes it is so the right speeds are a little bit limited on this particular
Nas but the read speeds are quite good I over 30 mb per second and don't forget
that it has the capability with the switch on the back to be used with a
simple USB cable which they do include in the box so you just got a straight
USB a to a cable and then all you do is flick the switch right here and you can
change it to an external optical drive or to an external hard drive that
operates off USB just with the flick of a button so right now you can see I have
it set to NZ and I'm going to move the camera close to it just to demonstrate
you cannot hear that fan at all in fact I think it's off right now I heard it
spin up when it turned on so it is not defective but it's gone ahead and turned
it off because there is no need for the fan to cool the hard drive when it's not
doing anything really intensive so that's the silent setting that we saw
before thank you for checking out my performance test of the LG network
storage N1 T1
