this video is brought to you by coolermaster mobile featuring The Jazz

00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:09.880
proo notebook stand check it out at mobile. coolermaster usa.com so hard

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:13.799
drives aren't really allowed to just be a hard drive anymore it seems this is

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

00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:21.960
guess that yeah still makes it a hard drive comes with a three-year warranty

00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:28.359
just like Seagate drives tend to come with has a fully recyclable package with

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

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

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

00:00:42.120 --> 00:00:50.680
ruined the package that's okay is that it's kind of similar except more

00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:53.160
advanced to this one that is the glex

00:00:50.680 --> 00:00:58.359
satellite The goflex Branding has been abandoned but the concept of taking your

00:00:55.800 --> 00:01:03.719
media with you wherever you want to go has not been abandoned so this is the

00:01:00.519 --> 00:01:06.680
allnew Wireless Plus it has a more sort

00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:11.520
of modern looking industrial design so instead of those rounded Corners it has

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

00:01:12.759 --> 00:01:18.439
older drive just for comparison there it has a bit of a different color scheme

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

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

00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:31.360
going to get all finger printy and ugly as quickly as the older one did the

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

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

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

00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:47.439
actually located pretty similarly to the old one in fact it's yeah Power ends in

00:01:45.520 --> 00:01:52.000
the same place as well although the plug is different and then the bottom start

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

00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:58.399
so that's not going to go anywhere and

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

00:02:02.320 --> 00:02:07.320
called the Wireless Plus as well as charging and in terms of other

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:12.160
accessories you've got a quick start guide you've got a not called glex cable

00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:17.160
apparently anymore but you've got one of their sort of

00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:19.959
flexible interface cables there you go so that plugs into the drive like that

00:02:18.519 --> 00:02:23.560
the particular one that's included is USB 3 although you could plug in

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

00:02:27.440 --> 00:02:32.400
anything else that might actually matter USB 3 is going to be the most important

00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:36.360
one though it could even use Thunderbolt if you wanted it also comes with a USB

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

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

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

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

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

00:02:54.879 --> 00:03:02.239
that around with you has a 10-hour battery life it comes with seates own

00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:04.440
completely upgraded app and the one for

00:03:02.239 --> 00:03:09.280
the uh see I keep forgetting what it's called the one for the glex satellite

00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:15.159
was actually not bad but the Wireless Plus adds a different form of UI so it

00:03:12.760 --> 00:03:19.519
allows you to not only Browse by folder structure but also to browse with media

00:03:17.200 --> 00:03:24.120
thumbnails and things like that it also adds uploading so now you can back up

00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:29.159
full-size pictures or videos or whatever else from your iOS Android or Kindle

00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:33.519
Fire device this is not either of any of those things this is a Windows device

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

00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:42.000
something when you email it to yourself uh you can connect up to three devices

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

00:03:43.799 --> 00:03:50.120
looking at photos or or browsing it or doing whatever else it is airPlay

00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:53.280
compatible which I personally think is one of the coolest things about it

00:03:51.799 --> 00:03:56.879
because if you have an Apple TV or whatever else you can actually beam

00:03:54.840 --> 00:04:01.200
things to your big screen using this little guy and it is DLNA compliant as

00:04:00.040 --> 00:04:05.640
well so we're actually going to have some more coverage of this on the tech

00:04:03.079 --> 00:04:08.680
quickie Channel upcoming where we sort of dive into it a bit more in depth but

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
