00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:17,000
welcome to my unboxing of a pretty good value neture switch this is from their

2
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:21,600
Pro safe series it is the GS 724

3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:24,240
t-300 Nas and it is a 24 Port gigabit

4
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:30,519
smart switch with webbased management and uh so yeah if you're looking for

5
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:33,200
basically if you need a Smart Switch

6
00:00:30,519 --> 00:00:37,399
okay with webbased management and you need a bunch of gigabit ports because

7
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:42,960
most inexpensive switches are still using 10 ports for the bulk of them this

8
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:48,360
is pretty much the one to get it's around the $200 Mark and we're going to

9
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:54,640
be using this for a really cool little project where we show you how with okay

10
00:00:51,760 --> 00:01:00,719
it's not cheap but for about 1,000 bucks plus drives you can turn your home

11
00:00:57,079 --> 00:01:03,280
storage server into a 4 G home storage

12
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:08,439
server that is capable of streaming 1 gabit per second so a gigabit network

13
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:12,479
connection to multiple computers within your house all concurrently which means

14
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:16,840
at the same time so on the front we find a net gear logo we find some indicators

15
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:23,600
for the various 24 ports including their speed their link uh activity so green is

16
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:27,520
for gigabit yellow is for 100 megabit

17
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:30,920
you can see we've got 24 ports

18
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:32,640
okay just a sec so these two right here

19
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:36,880
are fiber modules I was checking to see if they were 10 GB capable but it makes

20
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,520
sense that they're module base sorry sorry sorry they're not modules they're

21
00:01:38,119 --> 00:01:44,640
empty they have placeholders in them um so yeah it would make sense that on a

22
00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:48,840
$200 switch they're not so you can put 1 gig Fiverr modules in here which will

23
00:01:46,399 --> 00:01:55,119
allow you to run over greater distances if you have the desire to do that pretty

24
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:56,680
much okay factory default reset okay and

25
00:01:55,119 --> 00:02:02,799
here you can see a beefy looking heat sink going on and we got a power power

26
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:06,479
port and some more ventilation some more beefy looking heat sinks you can tell

27
00:02:04,039 --> 00:02:10,239
the power supply is here uh it comes with a pretty cool little chart that

28
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:14,239
tells you all about nit Gear's various switches and the features they have

29
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:17,599
which is what we handily looked at this one for so you can see this is a smart

30
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:21,280
managed switch whereas when you get into the more expensive stuff you get into

31
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:24,959
the fully managed switches which have more features and can do all kinds of

32
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:30,640
like more awesome and interesting stuff so the GS uh 724 T is the one that we're

33
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:33,800
looking at here which which is it's got like it's all got all kinds of great

34
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:39,680
stuff like Max bandwidth that it's capable of meantime between failure

35
00:02:36,599 --> 00:02:41,519
which is around 500,000 hours 21.5 wats

36
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:45,159
of power consumption and a lifetime warranty on the hardware and the power

37
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:48,840
supply it doesn't include much although it does include a useful little disc

38
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:52,480
that has an application that allows you to easily plug your switch into your

39
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:56,400
network and then not have to try and figure out what address to type in to

40
00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:02,640
access it it'll just find it on the network and then it'll tell you what the IP is so resource CD

41
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:06,519
and uh as well as your documentation for the switch itself I think that's pretty

42
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:10,000
much it we're just unboxing this so that we can get on with that project so uh

43
00:03:08,599 --> 00:03:16,920
Slick's saying something to me I don't know what he's saying to me I don't

44
00:03:13,319 --> 00:03:18,840
know he was telling me to say lifetime

45
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:22,680
warranty um which I'm pretty sure I already said so don't forget to subscribe to lus Tech tips for more

46
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:27,360
unboxings reviews and other computer videos well Slick's going to fail in the

47
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:32,400
video I guess I I deserve to have one fail as well it comes with a power cable

48
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:39,080
as well as ears for mounting it into a uh into a rack and screws for mounting

49
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,080
it into a rack
