WEBVTT

00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:09.240
all right we're doing some video coverage on the LG this is the N1 T1 Nas

00:00:06.759 --> 00:00:15.440
unit so it's a combination Nas unit external Optical and USB drive so I'm

00:00:12.360 --> 00:00:20.640
using their Nas detector software and I

00:00:15.440 --> 00:00:20.640
have successfully located the LG Nas

00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:28.599
so that was easy would you like to create a desktop icon for the selected

00:00:24.680 --> 00:00:30.320
NAS network folder yes okay that was

00:00:28.599 --> 00:00:35.239
relatively simple so why don't do a quick speed test and then I'm actually

00:00:32.559 --> 00:00:39.079
going to I've installed two pieces of LG software the nas Monitor and the nas

00:00:37.559 --> 00:00:43.200
detector so I'm launching the nas monitor right now you can see I just use

00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:48.960
their dis and click on those and then install them so here we've got the nas

00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:51.239
monitor launching hopefully shortly is

00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:57.480
this it y there it is uh okay so about Nas

00:00:54.480 --> 00:01:01.160
monitor open

00:00:57.480 --> 00:01:06.080
uh why don't we open the web men

00:01:01.160 --> 00:01:07.600
here we go so hm I don't have a user ID

00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:12.280
it must have a default one I'm going to try admin with no

00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:16.040
password sometimes it's admin I may have to come back

00:01:13.720 --> 00:01:20.880
shortly hey it's admin admin that was easy Okay so we've got a bunch of

00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:26.640
different stuff in here you can see that we have the uh the basics of our Nas so

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:31.920
uh usage amount is all at around 1% we've got the firmware revision the fan

00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:37.520
is set to silent let's see what else we can look at here so here's all of our

00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:40.759
Network info so it's the system name system description you can change all

00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:45.759
that good stuff IP address you can set it to obtain one manually or not uh

00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:51.880
system time we have a number of other things

00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:54.799
that we can check out here so power it

00:01:51.880 --> 00:01:59.560
has different power settings okay that's pretty neat wow it's got a ton of stuff

00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:05.920
in here you can do firmware updates uh from within this uh this menu right

00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:11.080
here see mail notification so you can get mail notification when let's see

00:02:08.920 --> 00:02:16.360
notification trigger hard drive status reports okay cool cool you can set up

00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:16.360
user

00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:24.879
accounts as well as shared folder names

00:02:22.920 --> 00:02:30.160
you can do file backup so you can it looks like you can back up to DVD which

00:02:28.040 --> 00:02:33.160
would be kind of neat Okay so it's actually got built-in burning software

00:02:31.720 --> 00:02:38.000
right into the web menu so you throw a DVD in there and you can uh back up

00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:41.800
anything from your hard drive to the dis you can rename your disc to something

00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:46.159
else that's kind of cool it has a backup button so that's for the optical drive

00:02:44.200 --> 00:02:49.319
data backup or backup to image so you have a couple different options you can

00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:52.959
schedule backups you can do USB backup and it also supports Apple Time Machine

00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:57.000
so you can set it to which volumes you want to back up so you can do torrent

00:02:55.440 --> 00:03:03.159
you can have a network printer it's a file server and finally it's got an

00:02:59.480 --> 00:03:06.840
iTunes server as well as the

00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:09.640
DLNA okay so that is pretty much all I

00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:14.959
wanted to say about this particular menu let's do a quick performance test so I

00:03:12.440 --> 00:03:19.200
have uh okay I guess we'll know pretty quick whether or not it's working at

00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:27.159
gigabit speeds but I have a movie file so this is a 266 megabyte file and I'm

00:03:23.480 --> 00:03:29.920
going to go ahead and cut and paste it

00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:34.879
into the public volume let's see how how long it takes oh I need permission okay

00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:39.680
maybe I won't put it in there okay let's try X hard

00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:42.480
drive

00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:46.720
cut oh okay maybe I just need to enter that admin

00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:51.640
admin because you can set up different stuff yeah yeah there we go okay so

00:03:48.200 --> 00:03:51.640
paste let's see how long it

00:03:54.239 --> 00:04:03.400
takes okay so far that's looking at kind of like that's looking at about like 10

00:04:00.040 --> 00:04:05.079
100 speeds but we will know for sure

00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:09.799
when we actually do the read test from the NZ so remember if you want to know

00:04:07.239 --> 00:04:14.920
exactly how fast it's going I'll don't use this number here the one there

00:04:12.760 --> 00:04:20.959
instead you should use the total size of the file 266 Megs over the amount of

00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:22.360
time it took to copy paste it so let's

00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:26.240
go ahead and paste that to the desktop and let's see if that goes any faster

00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:29.759
yes it is so the right speeds are a little bit limited on this particular

00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:34.280
Nas but the read speeds are quite good I over 30 mb per second and don't forget

00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:40.360
that it has the capability with the switch on the back to be used with a

00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:44.440
simple USB cable which they do include in the box so you just got a straight

00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:48.880
USB a to a cable and then all you do is flick the switch right here and you can

00:04:46.039 --> 00:04:52.160
change it to an external optical drive or to an external hard drive that

00:04:50.280 --> 00:04:56.560
operates off USB just with the flick of a button so right now you can see I have

00:04:53.759 --> 00:05:02.280
it set to NZ and I'm going to move the camera close to it just to demonstrate

00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:05.840
you cannot hear that fan at all in fact I think it's off right now I heard it

00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:09.479
spin up when it turned on so it is not defective but it's gone ahead and turned

00:05:07.280 --> 00:05:12.520
it off because there is no need for the fan to cool the hard drive when it's not

00:05:11.039 --> 00:05:16.120
doing anything really intensive so that's the silent setting that we saw

00:05:14.039 --> 00:05:22.400
before thank you for checking out my performance test of the LG network

00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:22.400
