00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:17.000
welcome to my unboxing of a pretty good value neture switch this is from their

00:00:11.440 --> 00:00:21.600
Pro safe series it is the GS 724

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:24.240
t-300 Nas and it is a 24 Port gigabit

00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:30.519
smart switch with webbased management and uh so yeah if you're looking for

00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:33.200
basically if you need a Smart Switch

00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:37.399
okay with webbased management and you need a bunch of gigabit ports because

00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:42.960
most inexpensive switches are still using 10 ports for the bulk of them this

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

00:00:45.760 --> 00:00:54.640
be using this for a really cool little project where we show you how with okay

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

00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:03.280
storage server into a 4 G home storage

00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:08.439
server that is capable of streaming 1 gabit per second so a gigabit network

00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:12.479
connection to multiple computers within your house all concurrently which means

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

00:01:14.720 --> 00:01:23.600
for the various 24 ports including their speed their link uh activity so green is

00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:27.520
for gigabit yellow is for 100 megabit

00:01:23.600 --> 00:01:30.920
you can see we've got 24 ports

00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:32.640
okay just a sec so these two right here

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

00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:40.520
sense that they're module base sorry sorry sorry they're not modules they're

00:01:38.119 --> 00:01:44.640
empty they have placeholders in them um so yeah it would make sense that on a

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

00:01:46.399 --> 00:01:55.119
allow you to run over greater distances if you have the desire to do that pretty

00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:56.680
much okay factory default reset okay and

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

00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:06.479
port and some more ventilation some more beefy looking heat sinks you can tell

00:02:04.039 --> 00:02:10.239
the power supply is here uh it comes with a pretty cool little chart that

00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:14.239
tells you all about nit Gear's various switches and the features they have

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

00:02:15.640 --> 00:02:21.280
managed switch whereas when you get into the more expensive stuff you get into

00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:24.959
the fully managed switches which have more features and can do all kinds of

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

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

00:02:32.040 --> 00:02:39.680
stuff like Max bandwidth that it's capable of meantime between failure

00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:41.519
which is around 500,000 hours 21.5 wats

00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:45.159
of power consumption and a lifetime warranty on the hardware and the power

00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:48.840
supply it doesn't include much although it does include a useful little disc

00:02:47.200 --> 00:02:52.480
that has an application that allows you to easily plug your switch into your

00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:56.400
network and then not have to try and figure out what address to type in to

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

00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:06.519
and uh as well as your documentation for the switch itself I think that's pretty

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

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

00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:18.840
know he was telling me to say lifetime

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

00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:27.360
unboxings reviews and other computer videos well Slick's going to fail in the

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

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

00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:39.080
it into a rack
