welcome to my unboxing of a pretty good value neture switch this is from their
Pro safe series it is the GS 724
t-300 Nas and it is a 24 Port gigabit
smart switch with webbased management and uh so yeah if you're looking for
basically if you need a Smart Switch
okay with webbased management and you need a bunch of gigabit ports because
most inexpensive switches are still using 10 ports for the bulk of them this
is pretty much the one to get it's around the $200 Mark and we're going to
be using this for a really cool little project where we show you how with okay
it's not cheap but for about 1,000 bucks plus drives you can turn your home
storage server into a 4 G home storage
server that is capable of streaming 1 gabit per second so a gigabit network
connection to multiple computers within your house all concurrently which means
at the same time so on the front we find a net gear logo we find some indicators
for the various 24 ports including their speed their link uh activity so green is
for gigabit yellow is for 100 megabit
you can see we've got 24 ports
okay just a sec so these two right here
are fiber modules I was checking to see if they were 10 GB capable but it makes
sense that they're module base sorry sorry sorry they're not modules they're
empty they have placeholders in them um so yeah it would make sense that on a
$200 switch they're not so you can put 1 gig Fiverr modules in here which will
allow you to run over greater distances if you have the desire to do that pretty
much okay factory default reset okay and
here you can see a beefy looking heat sink going on and we got a power power
port and some more ventilation some more beefy looking heat sinks you can tell
the power supply is here uh it comes with a pretty cool little chart that
tells you all about nit Gear's various switches and the features they have
which is what we handily looked at this one for so you can see this is a smart
managed switch whereas when you get into the more expensive stuff you get into
the fully managed switches which have more features and can do all kinds of
like more awesome and interesting stuff so the GS uh 724 T is the one that we're
looking at here which which is it's got like it's all got all kinds of great
stuff like Max bandwidth that it's capable of meantime between failure
which is around 500,000 hours 21.5 wats
of power consumption and a lifetime warranty on the hardware and the power
supply it doesn't include much although it does include a useful little disc
that has an application that allows you to easily plug your switch into your
network and then not have to try and figure out what address to type in to
access it it'll just find it on the network and then it'll tell you what the IP is so resource CD
and uh as well as your documentation for the switch itself I think that's pretty
much it we're just unboxing this so that we can get on with that project so uh
Slick's saying something to me I don't know what he's saying to me I don't
know he was telling me to say lifetime
warranty um which I'm pretty sure I already said so don't forget to subscribe to lus Tech tips for more
unboxings reviews and other computer videos well Slick's going to fail in the
video I guess I I deserve to have one fail as well it comes with a power cable
as well as ears for mounting it into a uh into a rack and screws for mounting
it into a rack
