00:00:07.439 --> 00:00:14.400
today Rumble will be assisting me with the unboxing because this is a fairly

00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:20.840
straightforward unboxing that I'm sure even he can handle so this is the

00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:24.240
Western Digital 2 tbte re4 Edition hard

00:00:20.840 --> 00:00:26.960
drive and what makes it re is the fact

00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:31.080
that it has a much much longer meantime between failure than other drives okay

00:00:29.119 --> 00:00:36.520
Rumble I want you to grab the knife so I want you to slice the package right

00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:38.640
there can you handle that good boy good

00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:43.760
boy all right okay we're done with the knife now I want you to grab the hard

00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:46.800
drive oh no no need you to take the

00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:48.160
packaging off there we go I'll help you

00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:53.600
a little bit okay I'll help you a little bit oh no don't go away don't go away

00:00:51.160 --> 00:00:58.760
okay okay good boy Rumble okay take the hard drive K it out this is the most

00:00:56.480 --> 00:01:03.799
reliable hard drive that you can pretty much get because say Western Digital

00:01:01.760 --> 00:01:08.119
validates their Enterprise storage drives much more than their consumer

00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:13.680
drives now their consumer drives are perfectly reliable however compared to

00:01:10.880 --> 00:01:18.720
some consumer drives this Enterprise Drive has up to double the meantime

00:01:17.240 --> 00:01:23.360
between failure it is otherwise just like a

00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:27.920
regular storage drive in that it connects via SATA power as well as SATA

00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:32.079
2 or SATA 3 depending on what kind of a drive you're going for and it's got the

00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:36.880
same kind of platter technology in there it spins at 7200 RPM so all that stuff's

00:01:34.600 --> 00:01:42.159
pretty straightforward it has 64 Ms of cash and uh you can strap it to a cat to

00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:45.920
add more storage to your cat and it is more likely to last for a long time

00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:51.600
because it is an Enterprise grade product so why would you want an Enterprise grade product I can give you

00:01:48.880 --> 00:01:57.799
a few good examples so number one oh he's getting mad okay he can go thank

00:01:53.640 --> 00:02:01.439
you good boy uh so number one is if it's

00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:04.560
going to be really hit hit hard a lot in

00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:05.840
terms of data accesses um Reads wres

00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:11.000
Moving the heads around basically if it's going to be under heavy load if it's going to be used in a 24/7

00:02:09.160 --> 00:02:15.040
application if it's going to be used for streaming media or some kind of server

00:02:13.480 --> 00:02:18.800
application you're probably better off with an re series drive for example in

00:02:17.720 --> 00:02:23.560
my Home Server um and this is just a Home Server

00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:28.239
this is not like a proper server uh where I've got like about 20 drives in

00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:33.680
there I've probably had oh including that one I've probably had 10 drives

00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:38.920
fail in the last few years here had I been using reer drives as

00:02:36.640 --> 00:02:42.440
opposed to like refurbished consumer drives I wouldn't have run into that and

00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:46.159
the reason that it gets that the drives get beat up so badly in a server

00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:49.840
environment like that it particularly Home Server is because I'm using a drive

00:02:48.040 --> 00:02:53.200
pool which means that the data is constantly balancing around between all

00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:57.239
the different drives in kind of a fake raid which means they're almost always

00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:02.000
being accessed a little bit they never get a break they never get you know shut

00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:05.319
down like a consumer computer would you know at night or over a weekend when you

00:03:03.720 --> 00:03:09.640
go away it's running in a server environment and it's just not the

00:03:07.799 --> 00:03:13.080
intended use of those drives so we'll be back in just one second so I just wanted

00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:18.200
to look up the warranty as well so these re drives have a 5-year warranty in to

00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:21.799
go along with their 1.2 million hours of meantime between failure so thank you
