now this guys this is the ly little big disc this is a Thunderbolt external
storage device from obviously L and it
has two Thunderbolt ports which means it is compatible with daisy chaining this
particular configuration uses ssds 240 gigs worth of Intel ssds to
achieve just beastly speed and right
speed so let's have a look at what lissy has to say for themselves speeds up to 10 gbit per second macOS raid Z or 1 so
you can configure whatever's in there however you want dual ports dual cooling
fan and passive aluminum heat sinky thing going on here and uses Intel solid
state drives what else we got here so protocols PCI Express data video dual
mode DisplayPort remember guys um Thunderbolt can pass through a display
port signal so you can plug into this and then plug out of this into display
port monitor here it says a fair bit okay 10 GB per second 10 GB per second
10 GB per second and 10 GB per second if you didn't gather it already it is
capable of up to 10 GB per second you can uh daisy chain up to six Thunderbolt
technology compatible devices preconfigured in a raid zero stripe for
ultimate performance so if you were using this as a scratch disc or
something where you need Extreme Performance in an external drive say you
have a laptop that use for video editing or photo editing for example this is the
solution to your problem power mode cables technology active copper active
copper cables are purchased separately remember guys Thunderbolt requires
active cables which means there are actual processors inside each end of the
cable in order to pass through the signal all right performance comparison
this is all theoretical of course but Thunderbolt technology basically just
rips apart everything else because it is dramatically faster okay you can daisy
chain a bunch of devices in a row and then finally output to a monitor with
DisplayPort so Thunderbolt Thunderbolt Thunderbolt DisplayPort and the Dual
cooling with heat SN and fan is going to be fairly evident once we open it up so
this isn't the first time this particular product has been opened because this is a demo unit that we're
taking a look at For an upcoming NC Tech tips about Thunderbolt wow this thing's
heavy it's actually pretty nice looking got a little like blue eye thing going
on in the front one eye and then um
we've got a cooling fan in the back two Thunderbolt ports a Kenington lock as
well as power you can see the uh the ribbed texture here on the heat sink
that definitely makes it uh cooler to
use if nothing else
okay so in terms of accessories we've
got a variety of different uh International plugs that it comes with
so this is clearly an international version we've also got wow check this out this is also made of uh presumably
aluminum although some kind of metal for sure and it slides in from the
back does not slick way to go okay well we'll figure it out give me a sec here
guys so it comes with screws so you just take out the included ones put this on
here plug in the included screws with the included Allen key and then it'll
sit on this handy little stand that looks very nice very professional
looking right what else we got here okay
active Thunderbolt cable not included but ours has one just because uh we need
one for the demo we're going to be doing so uh yeah that does that doesn't come
with it that's not part of the unboxing ignore that part all right power adapter
and finally oh okay that will need so that
goes there that one actually does slide
in there presumably in order to you know
do something good oh I see you don't actually have to
take out those other ones you just screw that into there and then the whole thing
is slide inable aable cuz I guess it was probably a lot more expensive to make
out of a solid piece of metal something with a flare on the end I can see that
okay all right I guess that's a pretty good solution then you can see I can
shake this to get something out of it because it doesn't have mechanical dries inside so I'm kind of tempted to open
this up just because uh otherwise you know we're not going to see how sexy it
is inside so give me a second here guys so we're undoing the last screw here and
uh let's take these out oh wow these are pretty long it's
almost like they're compensating for something here we go one two three oh
okay let's be careful with this and four
so uh oh the front comes off okay you
can see the Intel SSD is loaded in there so let's uh oh okay more screws we got
to undo these ones too I guess so those um are attached right
there and one and
two and
uh okay ah there we go
H and there we go all right so this is
the inside of the little big disc so there's your two Thunderbolt ports
there's your cooling fan that's installed there's your 120 gig Intel 320
Series ssds so these are modern Intel ssds um there's your front LED as well
as your front switch which oh no that's
not a front switch that must be like a some kind of a hard reset or something like that so we're not going to touch
that um yeah I think that's pretty much it not much else to say so this drive is
attached here I mean if you wanted to change the drives you could which is kind of cool very simple looks like
there's some kind of beefy like chipset thing going on under there but we're not
going to take it apart any more than that thank you for checking out our unboxing and
complete disassembly of the the see
little big disc and don't forget to subscribe to L Tech tips for more
unboxings reviews and other computer videos and the the reason we have such
high-end ssds in here so that we can properly showcase the performance of
which Thunderbolt is capable sorry guys we have to clarify
something to turn the device on you do have to press on this right here
