3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,799
drives aren't really allowed to just be a hard drive anymore it seems this is

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:18,279
the Wireless Plus from Seagate and yeah it's an external hard drive and I mean I

5
00:00:16,359 --> 00:00:21,960
guess that yeah still makes it a hard drive comes with a three-year warranty

6
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:28,359
just like Seagate drives tend to come with has a fully recyclable package with

7
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:32,640
a QR code on it so that's very exciting as well fully recyclable very very cool

8
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:38,640
and we're just going to open it up before we actually tell you anything about the Wireless Plus so the first

9
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:44,200
thing that we can tell you once it's open if I could get it open and I've

10
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:50,680
ruined the package that's okay is that it's kind of similar except more

11
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:53,160
advanced to this one that is the glex

12
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:58,359
satellite The goflex Branding has been abandoned but the concept of taking your

13
00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:03,719
media with you wherever you want to go has not been abandoned so this is the

14
00:01:00,519 --> 00:01:06,680
allnew Wireless Plus it has a more sort

15
00:01:03,719 --> 00:01:11,520
of modern looking industrial design so instead of those rounded Corners it has

16
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:14,920
sort of a sharper top and bottom to it there you go there's holding up the

17
00:01:12,759 --> 00:01:18,439
older drive just for comparison there it has a bit of a different color scheme

18
00:01:16,439 --> 00:01:23,560
going on to it so it's sort of a a textured looking uh gray that looks very

19
00:01:22,079 --> 00:01:27,159
industrial has a bit of a different feel to it it's not so glossy so it's not

20
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:31,360
going to get all finger printy and ugly as quickly as the older one did the

21
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:35,280
bottom is soft touch which I love the bottom of the old one was not soft touch

22
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:39,439
So Soft Touch which I love there's your power in all right there's the front of

23
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:43,600
the drive there's the other side of the drive there's your power button which is

24
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:47,439
actually located pretty similarly to the old one in fact it's yeah Power ends in

25
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:52,000
the same place as well although the plug is different and then the bottom start

26
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:57,479
out here this is the new unit soft touch feel as well as four little rubber feet

27
00:01:54,439 --> 00:01:58,399
so that's not going to go anywhere and

28
00:01:57,479 --> 00:02:04,240
that's pretty much it for the physicality of it there's an indicator for wireless which brings us to why it's

29
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:07,320
called the Wireless Plus as well as charging and in terms of other

30
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:12,160
accessories you've got a quick start guide you've got a not called glex cable

31
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:17,160
apparently anymore but you've got one of their sort of

32
00:02:14,599 --> 00:02:19,959
flexible interface cables there you go so that plugs into the drive like that

33
00:02:18,519 --> 00:02:23,560
the particular one that's included is USB 3 although you could plug in

34
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:28,959
different ones if you wanted to access it via fire wire or um I mean eSATA or

35
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:32,400
anything else that might actually matter USB 3 is going to be the most important

36
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:36,360
one though it could even use Thunderbolt if you wanted it also comes with a USB

37
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:41,000
to power adapter so you don't have to plug it into a computer just to power it

38
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:44,879
and finally a wall wart that allows you to not plug it into a computer just to

39
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:49,440
charge it so let's talk about what makes it special it is a wireless drive so you

40
00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:53,640
can store up to it's a one tbte drive for this particular model here so you

41
00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:56,680
could store up to 500 HD videos on it which is kind of cool so you can take

42
00:02:54,879 --> 00:03:02,239
that around with you has a 10-hour battery life it comes with seates own

43
00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:04,440
completely upgraded app and the one for

44
00:03:02,239 --> 00:03:09,280
the uh see I keep forgetting what it's called the one for the glex satellite

45
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:15,159
was actually not bad but the Wireless Plus adds a different form of UI so it

46
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:19,519
allows you to not only Browse by folder structure but also to browse with media

47
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:24,120
thumbnails and things like that it also adds uploading so now you can back up

48
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:29,159
full-size pictures or videos or whatever else from your iOS Android or Kindle

49
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:33,519
Fire device this is not either of any of those things this is a Windows device

50
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:37,200
but there you go uh so you can instead of you know being forced to down sample

51
00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:42,000
something when you email it to yourself uh you can connect up to three devices

52
00:03:39,159 --> 00:03:46,360
to it at a time streaming in HD or up to eight devices at a time if you're just

53
00:03:43,799 --> 00:03:50,120
looking at photos or or browsing it or doing whatever else it is airPlay

54
00:03:48,439 --> 00:03:53,280
compatible which I personally think is one of the coolest things about it

55
00:03:51,799 --> 00:03:56,879
because if you have an Apple TV or whatever else you can actually beam

56
00:03:54,840 --> 00:04:01,200
things to your big screen using this little guy and it is DLNA compliant as

57
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:05,640
well so we're actually going to have some more coverage of this on the tech

58
00:04:03,079 --> 00:04:08,680
quickie Channel upcoming where we sort of dive into it a bit more in depth but

59
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:13,480
I think that pretty much wraps it up for our unboxing thank you for checking out this unboxing and first look at the
